Integrating Implicit Leadership Theories and Fit Into the Development of Global Leaders: A 360-Degree Approach (original) (raw)
2012, Industrial and Organizational Psychology
AI-generated Abstract
Integrating Implicit Leadership Theories (ILTs) and organizational fit literature, this paper proposes a novel 360-degree feedback tool tailored for global leaders, emphasizing that leadership effectiveness is context-dependent and perceived differently across cultures. The ILT-based approach seeks to enhance leadership development by recognizing and addressing mismatches between expectations and perceptions. The authors acknowledge limitations within this framework, stressing the complexity of global leadership and the diverse influences on leadership prototypes.

This paper presents the preliminary findings from a cross sectional, trend design study over three years (2007)(2008)(2009). The sample (n=187) includes cohorts of international Master of Business Administration (MBA) students enrolled each year in a 'leadership' subject. The study aims to measure human dimensions known to be significant to leadership effectiveness including behaviour, personality, cultural and emotional dimensions. The research raises questions in reference to the future challenges for leadership development by comparing data from this cohort of students studying leadership with current global leaders. This paper reports the initial data for several self diagnostic instruments including: the MBTI; measures for emotional intelligence and; personality style. The results of these assessments are to be compared with similar assessments on known effective global leaders. The ultimate aim of the research is to discover similarities and discrepancies between the two groups in order to gain a deeper comprehension of the behavioural and cultural backgrounds and experiences that future leaders will need to lead successfully. The study will provide useful information to those responsible for developing future leaders.
Towards an understanding of the precursors of effective leadership
This paper proposes an extension of the Integrated Competing Values Framework (ICVF), and suggests that dispositional antecedents of the leader can influence their potential to exhibit behavioral complexity. Specifically, it explores the conceptual ties between core self-evaluations (CSE) and the role of the Integrator, the linchpin that allows the leader to move among different and often paradoxical leadership roles. It also suggests that strong specific motivations to lead, whilst potentially attractive for leadership emergence and development, may actually hinder the expression of behavioral complexity and ultimately the effectiveness of the leader.

Recognizing Leadership at a Distance: A Study of Leader Effectiveness Across Cultures
2012
The present study investigated whether personality and leadership evaluations based on photographs of Chinese CEOs made by Western raters were accurate at predicting organizational outcomes. Consistent with implicit leadership prototypes held by Westerners, perceived effectiveness was associated with higher levels of perceived intelligence, dominance, and positivity. However, actual organization performance was associated with the culturally appropriate leadership trait of risk taking. These findings suggest that although it is possible to use perceptions of personality based on photographs to predict objective leader effectiveness, individuals using a leadership paradigm suited to Western cultures are poor judges of potential success in Eastern cultures.
