Abstract

leadership is a heavily studied element of organizations. Every organization has leaders, after all, but what can and what do leaders actually do to achieve results? Can these results be replicated, or is individual charisma and various other sources of power and success ultimately simply a matter of great luck or randomness? In textbooks and in case studies, leadership is often represented as a challenge and as a set of skills to be mastered, based on various theoretical constructs (Theory X and Y when it comes to labor, for example). Apply the right strategies (empowering employees, juggling incentives properly) and leadership will lead to significant growth and profits. The entire field of leadership/management studies is based around the idea that leadership and its traits are definable and replicable. Further, leadership has emerged as somehow distinct from management in recent years. Value-laden claims like these are increasingly common.
