Book excerpt: Leadership. It is a word thrown about in society often with a sense of awe. Many that have obtained power over others claim to be leaders. Yet, does simply having control make a person a leader? Is there more to this behavior than merely a willingness to give out orders? LEADERSHIP: As Seen Through the Eyes of a Follower was written with the goal of providing an independent view on this element of human interaction. Classic topics, like follower motivation and teams, are examined. Other less common themes, such as the roles of a leader and unions, are discussed as well. The insights contained within these pages are meant to inspire thought on the subjects addressed. For those wishing to accept the challenge of leadership, the knowledge this book contains may serve as a fresh take on this widely-analyzed discipline.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Leader's Guide to Followers is written from the unique perspective of a follower sharing with leaders how to lead their people well. It offers insights as to why character is a prerequisite for effective leadership, and why earning trust and respect creates influence, a crucial aspect of leading people well. A leader's motivations and agendas are examined to show which ones draw followers to a leader, and which ones turn followers away from him. Throughout the book, practical examples are given for leadership styles and perspectives which build loyalty and energize followers to give their best efforts. Leading is compared and contrasted with controlling, and the followers' response to each is examined. The book also includes an exploration of leadership as a strategy for individuals, organizations, and the country as a whole. Dean Duvall is a native Oregonian who has experienced great leadership under some excellent coaches, teachers and employers throughout his life. He has been involved in a wide range of organizations including "mom and pop" businesses, international franchises, non-profits, state government, and Fortune 500 companies. His leadership experience is mainly in the computer business but includes some non-traditional roles such as guiding week-long mountaineering trips in British Columbia and skippering sailboat trips from Hawaii to Seattle and San Francisco. He continues to encourage leaders to be their best by writing and speaking about what leaders can do to bring out the best in those they lead.

Book excerpt: Previous books of the Leadership Horizon Series showed unequivocally how both leaders and followers play an equally important part in the co-production of leadership outcomes, and how leader and follower identities are fluid, so that the same individual can enact both at different times. This book stretches the notion of leadership a step further by exploring the co-enactment of both roles, identities, and positions of leader and follower by one same individual. This individual is defined as a connecting leader, as in this co-enactment he/she functions as connector between different leadership relationships. The concept of connecting leader emerges from the observation that most individuals in organizations engage in the leader-follower role co-enactment: managers, pulled between executives and reportees; CEOs, between the board and the head of departments; or employees involved in cross functional teams, leading and following in different degrees, subject to their expertise. Yet, despite its pervasiveness this concept is at best under theorized by the literature, which, dominated by dyadic and romanticized views, mostly presents the roles as enacted by separate individuals facing each other. To advance our understanding of connecting leaders the editor proposes to shift our focus on leadership in three ways: to unpack the interconnectedness and interplay of leader and follower identities; to investigate the tensions arising from the co-enactment and how these can be overcome; to widen the way in which we study leadership, through new configurations (e.g. leadership triads) and ontologies; and finally to consider the similarities between leading and following. The book chapters are organized to mirror these areas of exploration. Understanding leadership from a perspective that acknowledges that many individuals in organizations are not just leaders or followers, but both, democratizes the way we theorize leadership, and moves us further away from the temptation to romanticize it.

Book excerpt: "As we enter the third decade of the twenty-first century, we are seeing a renaissance of context in influencing leadership, leader-follower relations, and leader effectiveness as well as a recognition of the tripartite nature of leadership. To fully understand and appreciate leadership, one must see the multiple parts of it as well as the connections among them. Leadership is multi-dimensional; leadership depends on leaders, followers, and context. Leadership research in the past three decades has been dominated by interest in neo-charismatic leadership styles and a focus on leader-member exchange in leader-follower relationships. Recently other approaches to leadership, such as ethical and authentic leaders, have garnered greater attention in response to the moral and ethical challenges in the workplace. Additionally, established approaches to leadership emergence and development have been challenged by their relevance to diverse work forces and issues of inclusion. This twelve article volume includes an outstanding roster of established and emerging leadership authors who tackle questions of leadership at the intersections of leaders, followers, and context. The volume opens with two articles that set the stage for the current state of leadership research and paths for its future including a commentary by Edwin Locke and Gary Latham on current management research practices and an action-oriented review of leadership research from the start of the 21st century. The volume is organized around three themes: leadership and diversity, leader-follower relationships, and systems of leader, follower, and context. Articles in the volume advance diversity research with an integration of leadership and diversity theories that demonstrate the former's need for re-examination in light of the latter, a systematic development of inclusive leadership theory, and a close examination of immigrant ethnic identity. The authors of several articles expand our understanding of leader-follower relationships in the context of teams and alliances, the contextual boundaries of authentic leadership theory, and the authentic leader's potential impact on harassment in organizations. The volume culminates with three demonstrations of leadership as systems of leader-follower-context interaction, including a close examination of the toxic triangle's manifestation in university scandals, a micro-process model of power and leadership, and a configurational approach to studying leadership. The volume is designed primarily for scholars in the fields of human resource management, organizational behavior, and leadership. It also well serves the needs of instructors and students in master's and doctoral courses in leadership or organizational behavior. Each article is grounded in managerial context that will appeal to practitioners in the field"--
