The term "leadership" is defined in Webster's Dictionary as: the office or position of a leader, capacity to lead, the act or instance of leading. Unfortunately, the study of leadership is not exact. When compared to many aspects of the study of medicine, in which the physical world is orderly, uniform, and follows rules, the study of leadership involves examining people's social behavior, which is anything but predictable. For this reason, a list of definitions is not likely to be useful to one aspiring to a position of leadership or desiring to develop leadership skills. Therefore, in this module we have ...

Tom DeMarco says that leadership needs to be distinguished from posturing. Leadership remains one of the most relevant aspects of the organizational context.

The current financial crisis provides some incredible examples of leadership -- especially the challenges and unintended consequences of action. The situation faced by then Treasure Secretary Henry Paulson represents some of those challenges. A recent article in Vanity Fair (as well as other sources including PBS Frontline Series - Inside The Meltdown) paints him as a reluctant government interventionist. Here is a link to the Vanity Fair story that was provided to me by Mike Nothum a student in my MBA class: Despite the still unknown consequences of these decisions, we can begin to see some of the short term consequences, as ...

My name is James Douglas Orton. I started this blog in December 2004 as a laboratory environment that I can use to keep in touch with my doctoral students in George Washington University's Executive Leadership Doctoral Program, my friends within the national security community, and my colleagues in the field of High-Reliability Leadership, Organizations, and Strategies (HRLOS). I'm drafting my syllabus for my Fall doctoral seminar here at GWU and could use a little help from my former students -- I know this is rough but I want to force myself to get things "out there" once a day. Any comments? Course ...

The attribution theory of leadership has been utilized to provide insight into a variety of supervisory decision-making situations, including performance appraisal and pay raise decisions (Green and Mitchell, 1980; Feldman, 1981), as well as disciplinary decisions (Rosen and Jerdee, 1974). In this latter area, attribution theory hypothesizes that as a supervisor perceives an unwanted outcome to be caused by some characteristic of the subordinate (that is, an "internal" cause such as carelessness or insufficient effort) the more likely the subordinate will be judged responsible, and the more likely some action will be ...

It would be hard to say I’m unbiased in recommending a book by veteran education journalist and Ed Trust senior writer Karin Chenoweth. But How It's Being Done: Urgent Lessons from Unexpected Schools is a must-read for everyone committed to the goal of education equity. It provides valuable insight into the impressive achievements of eight high-minority and high-poverty schools from various settings across the country—schools that defy the ill-conceived notion that achievement gaps are inevitable. Karin doesn’t simply identify campuses with strong results for low-income students and students of color. She ...

Behavioral theories suggest that personality is a result of interaction between the individual and the environment. Behavioral theorists study observable and measurable behaviors, rejecting theories that take internal thoughts and feelings into account. Psychodynamic Theories Psychodynamic theories of personality are heavily influenced by the work of SIGMUND FREUD , and emphasize the influence of the unconscious mind and childhood experiences on personality. Freud believed the three components of personality were the id, the ego, and the superego. The id is responsible for all needs and urges, while the ...
I think servant leadership…as with Robert Greenleaf’s work is a big part of it…doing away with agendas and moving toward “enabling” others. Leading is…helping.

I once heard that leadership is the ability to get people to do things they don’t want to do. I’d say leadership is the ability ...
