Leadership Influence: A Contact Perspective

En savoir plus sur le livre

The book redefines leadership through the lens of the contact hypothesis, emphasizing the connection between leaders and followers. It critiques traditional models by introducing a leadership contact influence model, supported by ten hypotheses. This model explores dimensions of contact—length, width, and breadth—and examines factors like time quality, generational dynamics, and the complexities of leadership-followership relationships. The discussion also covers absentee leadership and the values that shape effective leadership, ultimately proposing a new standard for evaluating leadership contact.
