Leading Dangerously
In a qualitative case study, we described and explained shared leadership in dangerous contexts for military teams. We conducted eight semistructured interviews with shared, team, and military leadership subject matter experts in order to gain an improved understanding of the relationship between shared leadership and team performance in the presence of danger. We found the themes of mutual influence, leadership emergence, dangerous dynamism, and…
Multicultural Shared Leadership
This conceptual article reviews relevant literature to develop propositions forming a model of multicultural shared leadership. First, an examination of the definitions of culture finds consensus on culture as a system. Second, a review of the developmental model of intercultural sensitivity introduces the concept of intercultural competence. Third, an exploration into the theoretical foundations of vertical and shared leadership develops primary…
Demographic Similarity/Difference, Intercultural Sensitivity, and Leader–Member Exchange
This study examined demographic similarity/difference between leaders and followers and level of intercultural sensitivity of leaders as predictors of followers’ ratings of leader–member exchange (LMX) in a U.S. higher education environment. A significant positive relationship was found between leaders’ levels of intercultural sensitivity and followers’ ratings of LMX. Specifically, as leaders’ levels of intercultural sensitivity increased, follo…
Finishing the Race
This qualitative phenomenological study focuses on the meaning of marathons for six women living in the Midwest. The women who participated in the study had completed five or more marathons and discussed the reasons why they repeatedly ran this distance. Few individuals will ever run a marathon; fewer women than men participate in the sport. Through in-depth interviews, six themes emerged including struggle, emotion, pride, intimate connections, …
Cultivating Leadership
More than ever before, people are reevaluating their lives and work as they search for deeper meaning. This “self-actualization” has only superficially appeared in leadership theory and research. This essay will discuss why adult development and higher levels of critical thinking in leadership is essential to effective leadership. The authors hypothesize that a “cultivated” aspect of leadership is currently lacking in leadership theory and resear…
Deficient Critical Thinking Skills among College Graduates
Although higher education understands the need to develop critical thinkers, it has not lived up to the task consistently. Students are graduating deficient in these skills, unprepared to think critically once in the workforce. Limited development of cognitive processing skills leads to less effective leaders. Various definitions of critical thinking are examined to develop a general construct to guide the discussion as critical thinking is linke…
Effects of Gender, Education, and Age upon Leaders’ Use of Influence Tactics and Full Range Leadership Behaviors
Influence of Sex Differences in Leaders' Behavior
Sex differences in influence tactics were examined with a sample of 269 followers (67 men, 202 women) at a large midwestern national insurance company who rated the downward influence tactics used by their direct supervisors. Downward influence tactics are behaviors used by leaders to gain compliance from followers. One department within the organization was identified as a source for participants in the study. Participation was voluntary. The ag…
Leaders' Bases of Social Power and Anticipation of Targets' Resistance as Predictors of Transactional and Transformational Leadership
This paper examines the value of power and resistance for predicting transactional and transformational leadership. A sample of 232 leader-follower dyads was used to examine these relationships using Hinkin and Schriesheim's 1989 measure of power, Barbuto's 2000 measure of resistance, and Bass' 1985 measure of transformational leadership. Analysis yielded a significant negative relationship between leaders' Reward Power and their use of Individua…
