It tends to undermine shared understandings about individuality and social obligations, sharpening the tension between the belief in personal autonomy and the domination of a powerful corporate culture. But all the Marxian-inflected rhetoric we find in the 1988 extract (e.g. ‘obscure conflict’; ‘hierarchical structure of status and power’; ‘the polarization between management and shop-floor’ etc.) Dinh et al., 2014; Schyns and Schilling, 2013 for mainstream work to have done so).

However, this slippage between manager/leader and worker/follower is more than merely rebranding with a more fashionable label. According to Zoller and Fairhurst, activists and trade unionists – among other oppositional groups – appropriate some of the influencing tools of leadership to advance causes that go against the interests of elites. oppositional identities expressed in cynicism. gender, race and class (Calas et al., 2010).

Critical Leadership. The interplay between the particularity of care and the universality of justice highlights the significance of power, not least because it highlights the power dynamics of the choice over who receives our attention and solicitude. We can see that a case might perhaps be made for calling such people followers built on notions like multiple subjectivities or identities. This study is supervised by Professor Marius Van Dijke. These leadership failures are attributed to lack of leadership that connects with the societal values and cultures. On a final note, earlier, we mentioned the classic movies Saturday Night, Sunday Morning and From Here to Eternity because their characters contradict some of the assumptions of the discourses of followership. Recent interest in, ‘emotional intelligence’ indicates that ef, leaders need to develop greater awareness of the. ics and about what it may mean to be ‘a leader’, organizations and societies. By using this language of leadership, Collinson and Tourish also fall into the trap Alvesson and Kärreman (2016: 142) identify: Many researchers find a market for work using the popular signifier “leadership” because … mainstream approaches have made leadership fashionable. They dem-, onstrate that leadership dynamics are inescapably. These critical readings of CLS’s representational practices are reinforced when we observe that the exponential growth in leadership’s appeal since the 1980s has occurred during a period which also witnessed the rise of neoliberalism and the consequent widespread defeat of trade union power (Brown, 2015). It is, quite possible for researchers to question one dual-, ism but to do so in ways that reproduce others. Critical perspectives, view control and resistance as mutually reinforc-, ing, ambiguous and potentially contradictory, processes. and Power: Identity Processes in Groups and Organizations. It examines the conditions, processes and c, The ISLC was designed to create a community of leadership researchers, and to establish a stream of annual, international conferences on studying leadership. Collinson and Tourish’s work reinforces an understanding that ‘the alternative to leadership is leadership’ by, for instance, encouraging students ‘to draw on their own experiences of leadership and followership dynamics in schools, workplaces and families’ (2015: 581). Critical management studies (CMS) is a largely left-wing and theoretically informed approach to management and organisation studies. AU - Collinson, D L. PY - 2011. In this chapter, we expose from a critical point of view the main leadership styles and then three successful international case companies (Inditex, Santander, and Telefónica) that recognized their style and the strategies they developed. Focusing particularly, on the situated and shifting power relations, between leaders, managers and followers, CLS, suggest that dialectical perspectives can facilitate, new ways of thinking about their complex, ambig-. Yet many of us are ready to label others with these terms, such that contemporary Arthur Seatons and Sergeant Wardens are regularly being represented as followers in CLS research. However, attempts to establish absolutist distinctions between them [leadership and management] can be viewed as another example of the “dichotomizing tendency” in leadership studies. Emphasizing an intrinsic dialec-, all social relations, Giddens argues that human. In this chapter, we expose from a critical point of view the main leadership styles and then three successful international case companies (Inditex, Santander, and Telefónica) that recognized their style and the strategies they developed. This person’s circumstances as a non-Lao-speaking foreigner provided him with a unique opportunity to learn about and participate in the embodied, sociomaterial unfolding of leadership practice in an unfamiliar setting. Thus, the construct of educational leadership needs to be more broadly theorised in order for cross-cultural discourses to emerge. In other words, the leader/follower dualism is hard to read as anything other than a denial of the central tenet of Marxian-inflected organizations analyses – the structured antagonism between capital and labour.

Corruption, poverty, injustice, and lack of legitimacy and accountability have continued to be the images of Africa and its leadership. However, her refusal gains traction from other employees as it articulates simmering employee anger around this issue. (Chapter 8, this volume), researchers have argued, for example, that women are more relationship-, oriented and men more task-oriented. We might also suggest that instead of follower terms like dissenter or radical could be used. Nevertheless, perhaps in part because the corporate resonances of leadership are so strong, some of the reactions to their article from people outside academia appear to assume that they were simply providing lessons for business from jazz (Arnot, 2012). Whereas white middle-class women, are often found in managerial and higher-paid, work, women of colour typically predominate in, lower-paid positions. A. It seems likely that no shop steward (or anyone else) would have called Rita a leader back in the 1960s. Hirschman argued that in conditions of, organizational decline individuals are likely either, to resign (exit) or try to change (voice) products or, processes they find objectionable. While company leaders talked proudly. Simply by the ways in which they use the terms, they imply that leadership and followership are neutral, natural and necessary categories of analysis. This focus on the power/resistance dialectic, engage in resistance (in a mechanical or predeter-, mined way), or that their opposition is necessarily, effective. This is important because many of their above critiques might be absorbed or otherwise appropriated by the mainstream (see e.g. Fleming and, Spicer, 2007). who merely carry out orders from ‘above’.

What is Wrong with Leadership Development and What Might Be Done with It? This shift to discourse about leaders could be attributed partly to a mushrooming literature on leadership (Alvesson and Spicer, 2014; Grint, 2005; O’Reilly and Reed, 2010; Tourish, 2013). This is significant because at the same time as editing out terms which potentially signal divergent interests (e.g. The prominence attached to this feature of CLS certainly reflects a critical point of view because rather than reproducing officially sanctioned corporate hierarchies it challenges and subverts them. onsequences of multiple forms of masculinity as they are reproduced in organizational structures, cultures and practices.

As an illustration of why it matters whether we talk about leaders and followers or managers and workers consider Table 1. She says, ‘From that day on, whenever the line ran up to quitting time, all of us on the team dropped whatever we were doing and immediately walked out, leaving the team leader to lock up the tools and clean the area’ … That same month, after resentment grew about the mandatory overtime, when the line kept moving after shift, ‘nearly everyone on the car side put on a coat and walked out’, although leaving a moving line is a cause for firing ‘and everybody knew it’.

The leadership development industry regularly claims to aid in developing effective, ethical leaders, using 360-degree psychometric assessments as key tools for so doing. Yet, as this article argues, these discourses of privilege and opportunity have not accounted for trajectories of ethnicity and diversity. What we are against, however, is the a priori use of leader and follower to represent different hierarchical groups – as a kind of master category for representing and understanding social and organizational dynamics. However, its impact as a critical project may be limited by the way it has generally adopted this mainstream rhetoric of leader/follower. Alternatively, we might confine our use of leadership to obviously subversive contexts. The topic of leadership is one of the most popular issues in the field of management. Covering a diverse set of theories and approaches, critical perspectives hold that, whether for good and/or ill, and whether focussing on individuals and/or collectives, power in all its forms is a central, under-examined issue for leadership studies. What is leadership, anyway? Such a conclusion is the opposite of a critical stance on the identities of workers because the leader/follower formulation implies that ultimately both leader and follower share the same goal. You can be signed in via any or all of the methods shown below at the same time. Indeed leadership depends on the existence of individuals willing, as a result of inclination or pressure, to surrender, at least in part, the powers to shape and define their own reality. Our intent is not so much to debate what leaders and followers are, but to show what the use of these terms does; particularly when deployed as apparently routine and more-or-less unnoticed generics for hierarchical groups within organizations. quently interconnected and mutually reinforcing. They provide extended examples of the leadership of dissent, focusing ‘on the role of perceived unfairness and injustice as a key resource of dissent mobilization’ (2007: 1340). This framing forecloses radical resistance and is more easily assimilated with dominant albeit unexamined ideals in the leadership literature. Hard work has become for leadersmanagers an ethical endeavour, but they grieve the sacrifice of leisure. Before this incident, she [Graham] describes angry reactions when the team leader asked employees to stay after shift to put away their tools because the line would no longer stop five minutes early. It seems as if more traditional terms like manager and worker have simply been crossed-out by CLS researchers and replaced with leader and follower.

Indeed, the rhetoric is becoming so widespread in many organizational contexts that as Morrell and Hewison (2013: 70) show ‘it becomes impossible to see an alternative to “leadership” … leadership is, seemingly, anything and everything’. ducers: followers’ roles in the leadership process’. Indeed, one factor fuelling the growth in the language of leadership in organizational scholarship over the last few years may well simply be the rise of journals like Leadership, which effectively require authors to represent their work in the language of leadership (The Leadership Quarterly, published from 1990, was the first major journal of this type). of these relationships (Howell and Shamir, 2005). BT - The Sage Handbook of Leadership Frequently, leaders are described as those who energize people to do extraor- dinary things, including things that followers might not want to do themselves or indeed might be unable to do themselves without some sort of inspiration. Critical studies emphasize that leadership, dynamics can emerge informally in more subordi-, nated and dispersed relationships, positions and, locations, as well as in oppositional forms of, organization such as trade unions (Knowles, 2007). uous and potentially contradictory inter relations. Leadership models and competency frameworks: In different organization different model of leadership are being operational and they have sat their own competency frame work. Finally, we examine the work of Collinson and Tourish (2015) to demonstrate the dangers of the universalization of leadership that an unreflexive use of leader and follower can imply – even in an article that is otherwise highly successful in critiquing mainstream leadership studies. beings are knowledgeable social agents who, acting within historically specific (unacknowl-. But to keep things simple, while the pairing is hardly entirely unproblematic in itself, simply going back to the language of manager and worker seems to us to be one step in the right direction. Although control can stimulate resist-, ance, it may also discipline, shape and restrict the, Critical perspectives suggest that in leader–, follower relations there is always the potential for, conflict and dissent. Some society journals require you to create a personal profile, then activate your society account, You are adding the following journals to your email alerts, Did you struggle to get access to this article? As this view centres mainly on leaders in their roles as managers and formal superiors, excessive and causal power and influence are attributed to them. Admittedly, to stop talking about leaders might be easier said than done. Almost since the idea of organizational leadership was first introduced, leadership has had its critics. gender and class in organization studies’. Critical studies ask important questions about power, inequalities and followership, and the shifting contexts in which they are enacted. Leaders are usually described as wielders of power in the discussion of leadership because they are individuals who dominate others. only express opposition in numerous ways but, also may seek to protect themselves from sanc-, tions. The shift is occurring gradually and informally, though even some 12 years ago Parker (2004: 175) had already detected that ‘management itself [is] beginning to go out of fashion (being discursively articulated as something rather like administration) and leadership [represents] the new panacea’. Richly anecdotal and accessibly written, Leidner's book charts new territory in the sociology of work. CLS, as Collinson (2011: 182) argues, broadly shares CMS’s political aims and intellectual traditions, but it attempts to broaden CMS’s range, in that it: Explicitly recognizes that, for good and/or ill, leaders and leadership dynamics (defined … as the shifting, asymmetrical interrelations between leaders, followers and contexts) also exercise significant power and influence over contemporary organizational and societal processes [whereas] many CMS writers ignore the study of leadership, focusing more narrowly on management and organization. CLS draw on similar intellectual traditions. suppression of gender conflict in organizations’, Meindl, J., Ehrlich, S. B., and Dukerich, J. M. (1985) ‘The. The manager/worker dyad makes a power imbalance explicit and includes the possibility that interests will diverge. The critique of Western ethnocentric notions of leadership presented in this article is informed by debates on issues such as gender and educational leadership that have produced meta-narratives that explore and explain women and men's ways of leading. In 1983, however, after a government inquiry suggested that management should be introduced into the NHS there was overwhelming enthusiasm for the change. Leadership studies. Rosener, 1990). CLS recognize that leaders exercise, considerable control, and that their power can, have contradictory and ambiguous outcomes that, leaders either do not always understand or of, which they are unaware. In discussing how musicians such as Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Art Blakey and Winton Marsalis might be thought of as ‘leaders’ the authors move decisively away from any sort of corporate setting and into an arena where leaders generally emerge with the consent and enthusiasm of their musical peers. Distinguished Professor David Collinson, from the Department of Leadership and Management, talks about the research area of Critical Leadership Studies.

Leidner's fascinating report from the frontlines of two major American corporations uncovers the methods and consequences of regulating workers' language, looks, attitudes, ideas, and demeanor. It concludes by arguing that the CLS challenge to contemporary leadership studies has the potential to open up important, new and innovative lines of enquiry. Unfortunately, when it comes to foundational terms like leader and follower, such reflexivity appears to be largely absent in CLS. about the complex dynamics of leadership. namely, essentialism, romanticism and dualism. Kevin Morrell is a Professor of Strategy at Warwick Business School and a British Academy Mid-Career Fellow.

In fact, she took on her responsibilities with great reluctance and paid a high price for doing so in terms of the pressure they brought to bear on her family and personal life. The three dialectics discussed above are fre-. In these contexts it is especially difficult to oppose the language of leadership, not least because the practice is caught up in a new kind of common sense; what Brown (2015) calls (in the title of her book) ‘neo-liberalism’s stealth revolution’. Additionally, we generate insights on two patterns that explain why it is so difficult to abandon a heroic image by revealing the crucial role of one’s sense of self-as-a-leader. Rita and her colleagues ultimately win their dispute, and in the process are instrumental in bringing about a change in the law: the Equal Pay Act of 1970. However, its impact as a critical project may be limited by the way it has generally adopted this mainstream rhetoric of leader/follower. Diversity is critical for effective crisis leadership. The leader/follower dualism does not fit Marx and Engel’s list of oppositions – both leader and follower stop being merely nicer- or more fashionable-sounding synonyms for manager and worker in certain important contexts.

Such a reading of leadership is rarely, if ever, explicit in the corporate courses that have proliferated in recent years, nor in responses to remotely administered questionnaires that much mainstream work in the field pursues. It seems as if more traditional terms like manager and worker have simply been crossed-out by CLS researchers and replaced with leader and follower. Leaders (and leadership, researchers) cannot simply assume the obedience, or loyalty of followers. Interest Groups >> Critical Educational Policy and Leadership Studies >> Overview Overview We would like to welcome all BELMAS members to this RIG as a place where we can study and practice socially just educational leadership. Holvino argues that gender, needs to be studied in relation to other social proc-, esses such as race, ethnicity, class, sexuality and, nation. This leads to the conclusion that the leadermanager is someone who is both powerful and powerless. ‘Followers’ are presumed compliant, malleable beings needing leaders to determine what is in their interests. Covering a diverse set of theories and approaches, critical perspectives hold that, whether for good and/or ill, and whether focussing on individuals and/or collectives, power in all its forms is a central, under-examined issue for leadership studies. gender, ethnicity, origin, etc.) Suggesting that leaders’ o, life histories might be a significant source of, influence over followers, Shamir et al.

For instance, if we begin by thinking in terms of leader/follower, it takes us closer to a pro-hegemonic ideal: that a core part of what leaders do is to frame reality for their ‘followers’.

Our aim in this paper is to demonstrate the problematic effects that accompany the routine use of a leader/follower rhetoric – what one might call the language of leadership – especially in the context of critical leadership studies (CLS) research.
