By her late twenties Gray had totally remodeled the structure and turned it into a retail complex of boutiques and restaurants called The Shoppes at Brownstone Village Developing and marketing the site haven’t been major hurdles for Gray, given her educational and family background In fact, that was almost easy compared to the challenge of developing an appropriate leadership style to manage the complex’s hundred or so employees and vendors In her first job out of college, Gray obtained plenty of marketing savvy and experience by coordinating events at the Super Bowl and World Series for her employer, a trading-card company She found the job really interesting, and even exciting, but after her first child was born, she realized she needed to reduce the extensive travel involved in her event-coordinating job and find something closer to home that did not require frequent out-of-town trips That’s when she decided to follow her father’s footsteps and try her hand at developing a piece of property and then operating and managing the newly formed entity The Shoppes at Brownstone Village opened in November 2004 and immediately became—and continues to be—a popular local shopping destination Customers flocked to the stores and even created a typical good news/bad news problem: Too many cars, too few parking places But that problem was not as difficult for Gray to solve as figuring out how to lead the employees and vendors who worked for and with her As she says, her natural tendency is to “want everybody to be friends.” That philosophy of congeniality guided her leadership approach in the early months following the Shoppes’ opening However, she soon found this approach didn’t work very well and many employees were performing in a rather indifferent and laid-back manner As Taylor Ridout Gray had to learn at the beginning of her managerial career, leadership is an undeniably critical part of the overall management process It lies at the very heart of that part of managing that deals with “Leading” (the title of this part of the book) Without leadership, organizational performance would be minimal Indeed, it would be difficult if not impossible to talk about the accomplishments of twenty-first-century organizations of all types—whether in business, government, education, or other settings—without referring to the role that leadership played in those successes Clearly, leadership is important to organizations, and to society at large What is not so clear is how to increase its presence in organizations and its effectiveness That is the managerial challenge—the one faced by Taylor Ridout Gray But she is no exception Leadership is, above all, a process of influence As such, it is not a set of behaviors limited to the chief executive officer, the executive vice president, the director of manufacturing, the regional marketing manager or, for that matter, a sports team’s coach or captain It is a process that almost anyone can exhibit, potentially anywhere in an organization However, although acts of leadership in an organization can be widespread and commonplace, often they are not The central issue, then, both for organizations and for individual managers, is to turn leadership potential into reality The very fact that so many articles 205 206 PART THREE • LEADING and books have been, and continue to be, written on the topic of leadership is a good indication that this challenge is not being met well by either the typical organization or the practicing manager This chapter addresses three age-old questions: What is leadership? Are leading and managing the same? Does leadership differ across national cultures? Next, it explores the relationship between leadership and its close cousins, influence and power Following this, the chapter identifies different sources and types of power and analyzes issues in how to use power effectively This provides a background for examining the basic elements of the leadership-influence process: the leader, the followers, and the situation Throughout this discussion of the process of leadership, we explain different theoretical approaches at the place where they are most relevant to a particular part of the process The chapter concludes by examining whether there are effective substitutes for leadership What Is Leadership? organizational leadership an interpersonal process that involves attempts to influence other people in attaining organizational goals Although leadership is a familiar everyday term, it’s nevertheless far more complex than one might assume That’s what makes it such an interesting and intriguing subject Let’s look at how organizational scientists have defined the term leadership Unfortunately, there is no clear consensus because, as one prominent scholar observed some years ago, “There are almost as many definitions of leadership as there are persons who have attempted to define the concept.”1 Consistent with most definitions, however, we define organizational leadership as an interpersonal process that involves attempts to influence other people to attain a goal While there is general agreement that leadership is an influence process, there is less agreement on (1) whether the definition must refer only to influence used by those occupying a designated leadership position (a “manager,” “president,” “chairperson,” “coach,” and so forth), (2) whether the influence must be exercised deliberately and for the specific attainment of the group’s or organization’s goals, and (3) whether the compliance of others must be voluntary Our view on each of these issues follows As we explained at the outset of this chapter, anyone can exhibit acts of leadership behavior in an organization, and those acts are not limited only to persons holding designated leadership positions (In recent years, some have termed this way of looking at leadership as “distributed leadership.”)2 In particular, this means that leadership should not be thought of as occurring only, or even mostly, at the top of the organization Leadership can also be seen in the actions of the first-line supervisor who inspires her subordinates to increase their attention to safety procedures to avoid production downtime The group member who champions his team’s new product and convinces others of its potential demonstrates leadership The human resources manager who makes sure—without being ordered to—that those in the human resources division treat all applicants for positions with the company respectfully and equitably shows leadership Workers who set an example for their coworkers by continually seeking ways to improve processes and working conditions exhibit leadership Ordinarily, however, people in positions that are labeled managerial or supervisory have more opportunities to exert leadership Also, leadership behavior is expected more frequently from supervisors and managers than from other types of employees Such expectations often profoundly affect the behavior of both those who hold leadership positions and those around them Expectations count! For instance, pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson (J&J) prides itself on its dedication to ethics in management and, as such, J&J employees expect their managers to demonstrate such standards—to lead by example, in other words A manager who does not abide by the ethical principles of the company, or who is even perceived as not adhering to them, is likely to lose first the trust of employees, followed by the ability to lead them effectively.3 A very recent example of J&J’s leadership expectations occurred when a problem developed with product contamination from manufacturing process lapses and subsequent efforts by marketing managers to minimize official recalls of the product The company promptly demoted six “key executives” who had responsibility for production and over-the counter-sales.4 CHAPTER • LEADERSHIP 207 DIVERSITY A MANAGER’S CHALLENGE Leading at the Top—While Still Under 30 E lsewhere in this chapter we will talk about the role that leadership-type experiences play in developing future top executives Ordinarily, in past years, in organizations larger than several hundred employees, senior executives would have acquired those experiences at lower levels before ascending to leadership positions at or near the top More importantly, by the time in their careers that they arrived at those lofty echelons they would be in their forties or fifties (Bill Gates in the 1980s being a notable exception, of course) These days, however, as part of a greater overall trend of diversity in composition of organizations, there are an increasing number of significant firms in the business world who are led by chief executives who have never had this kind of background and who are not yet even 30 years old! Why? In most cases it’s because they are (like Bill Gates was) the founders or co-founders of their companies One of the poster boys, so to speak, for this phenomenon is Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, the world’s largest social network Starting from a dorm room at Harvard in 2004, Zuckerberg rapidly implemented an internet version of a paper Facebook student directory with pictures that had been popular at his high school, Phillips Exeter Academy Within two weeks after Zuckerberg launched his Harvard effort, half of the colleges in the Boston area were clamoring for a Facebook network Only four months later, with the help of two close friends, Zuckerberg’s Facebook had expanded to include over 30 college networks, and he was already turning down an offer of $10 million for the company Skip ahead six years to 2010 By that time, Facebook had over 400 million active users, more than 1,000 employees and revenue (in fiscal 2009) of over $50 million, and Zuckerberg (now all of 25 years old) had several years before turned down an offer of $1 billion for the company For now (in 2010) at least, he clearly seems to want to remain leader of his company With a reputation as a demanding boss, he is highly task-focused As one employee said, “[When] working with Zuck [don’t] expect acknowledgment for your role in moving the discussion forward—getting the product right should be its own reward.” Running a company growing at warp speed has not been easy Zuckerberg added an experienced executive from Google as second in command and has put several other senior executives from other companies on Facebook’s Board of Directors Even so, there have been problems For example, in late 2009 Facebook received considerable criticism for a redesign of its privacy controls that resulted in some account data of users becoming public; because of this backlash, the company altered some of its previously instituted changes This is just one illustration that starting an organization with an innovative idea is one thing; leading it as it grows and evolves is something different In the view of Yale management expert Jeffrey Sonnenfeld: “Facebook is in the phase where some founders get themselves in trouble by being too sure of themselves [Facebook] is at a crossroads where we have to see if Mark can build a team strong enough to challenge him.” Perhaps it is worth noting that in early 2009 Zuckerberg had changed his business attire from T-shirt, jeans, and sandals to a buttoned-down shirt and tie “This is a serious year,” he explained Of course, Mark Zuckerberg is just one example of current top leaders under the age of 30 Others would include Chase Mattioli who, at 20, was vice president for Mattioli Racing; Michael Seibel, CEO of Justin TV; and Nathaniel Broughten who, by age 27, has already been involved with five start-ups Whether ten years from now any or all of these and other similar under-30 early leaders of firms will still be managing and leading organizations effectively is an open question At the least, their career trajectories and accomplishments should provide additional evidence on the issue of how necessary, or not, experience in leadership positions at lower levels of organizations is for leading at the top Sources: FaceBook Company website FactSheet http://www.facebook com/home.php#!/press/info.php?factsheet Accessed 6/4/2010;

Put most simply, it is influence that assists a group or an organization to meet its goals and objectives and perform successfully This implies that effective leadership is “enabling” behavior— that is, it is behavior that helps other people accomplish more than if there had been no such influence.5 By their actions, those who exhibit effective leadership add an extra ingredient to the sum of the efforts of many people and thereby help them to achieve together more than they would have otherwise Effective leadership unlocks the potential that resides in other people Leading and Managing: The Same or Different? EXHIBIT 8.1 The Overlapping Roles of Leaders and Managers Leading and managing are two terms often used interchangeably But are they really the same? In recent years, some scholars have argued that the terms are different—that leadership involves creating a vision for organizations or units: setting, communicating, and promoting new directional goals and procedures, and inspiring subordinates.6 These activities can be contrasted with more mundane, task-oriented “managerial” functions, such as dealing with interpersonal conflicts, planning and organizing and, in general, implementing the goals set by others (the organization’s leaders) When leading and managing are defined in these ways, then, of course, they are different However, if we consider managing from a broader perspective, as it is throughout this book, the two activities not differ as much as might appear on the surface That is, managing ought to involve most of the kinds of activities that are included in the leader’s role Removing such “leading” activities from managing makes an artificial distinction between the two and relegates managing to a routine, almost trivial activity—which it is not The relationship between leading and managing can be illustrated using a Venn diagram, similar to those encountered in mathematics classes The diagrams consist of circles that are completely independent of each other, circles that overlap one another completely, or circles that partially overlap Imagine all the leaders from one organization in one circle and all the managers from that same organization in another The two circles are likely to be partially, but not totally, separate, as shown in Exhibit 8.1 Some people can be leaders, and some people can be managers; but many people can be both leaders and managers Bluntly, leadership is a very important component of management, but management is more than just leadership It includes other tasks that don’t directly involve influencing people Thus, although not all leaders are managers, and not all managers are leaders, modern organizations need most of their managers to engage in leadership behaviors such as those that foster innovation and creativity, inspire other people, and improve their organization’s performance Consequently, in this chapter and in this book, we view organizational leadership as a process that should be included as a significant part of the managerial role, but it is definitely not the total role Does Leadership Differ Across National Cultures? Does leadership differ fundamentally from country to country? Nobody knows for sure, although researchers are attempting to find out.7 As some observers point out: “Leadership is a fairly modern concept It did not appear in English-language usage CHAPTER •

countries, the notion of headship has been more prominent, as in the head of state, chief, or other ruling [italics added] position.”8 Or, as another scholar put it, “The universality of leadership [as a part of the managerial role] does not imply a similarity of leadership style throughout the world.”9 Experts on Southeast Asia, for example, point out two essential cultural features of leadership there: the requirement for order and compliance and the requirement for harmony.10 The “order” requirement involves traditional values that support the acceptance of hierarchies, conformity, and deference to authority The “harmony” requirement involves not only the obligations of the subordinate to the superior but also the obligations of the superior to respect the subordinate and care for his or her welfare This style can be summarized by the word paternalism, whereby a leader is regarded as the provider, or “father,” who will take care of the subordinate in return for responsible behavior and performance In addition to Asia, it is a style often found in Central and South American countries where there is a strong emphasis on collective values as opposed to individual values.11 Despite such differences, some similarities in leadership practices—such as giving subordinates more participation in the decision-making process—are beginning to appear with increasing regularity around the world.12 The results from the GLOBE project, the most recent and comprehensive international study of leadership, appear consistent with this conclusion as Exhibit 8.2 shows.13 According to the data collected for this study, certain leader attributes, such as “trustworthy” and “decisive,” are viewed as positive across all cultures Likewise, other attributes, such as “dictatorial” and “asocial” are universally viewed as negative However, how other attributes, such as “cautious” and “ambitious,” are viewed depends heavily on a particular culture and its values Some cultures view them positively, but other cultures view them negatively Because of expanding industrialization, the need for effective leadership has become a worldwide phenomenon Precisely how that need is being met in specific organizations and countries, however, still appears to be influenced by cultural circumstances and traditions Nevertheless, the picture of particular leadership styles and practices around the world at the beginning of the twenty-first century could change dramatically during the next few decades It already is in some places, as exemplified by Yifei Li, former head of Viacom’s China MTV and now head of Publicis Groupe’s Vivake in China.14 Yifei Li has been leading youth-oriented firms operating in the mostly older, male-entrenched regulatory bureaucracy of China She is normally confident, brash and upfront, but when interacting with the authorities she modifies her style somewhat A century ago, or even a decade ago, her natural leadership style would unlikely to have been tolerated, let alone accepted, in that kind of setting The Effect of Culture on Attitudes Toward Leaders’ Attributes PART THREE • LEADING Kistone Photography 210 Yifei Li is a high-level executive with Publicis Groupe in China Formerly she was the Managing Director of MTV Greater China, Executive Vice President of MTV Networks Asia, and the Chief Representative of Viacom China Smart, confident, and female, Yifei Li has had to take a different approach to dealing with male business people in that country “Particularly as a woman in China, you have to be a little bit softer, and humble,” she has said Yifei Li made The Asian Wall Street Journal’s “Ten Women to Watch in Asia” list in 2005 and 2006 Leadership and the Use of Power power the capacity or ability to influence It is virtually impossible to study leadership as a type of social influence without also taking into account the idea of power Power is typically thought of as the capacity or ability to influence Thus, the greater a person’s power, the greater the potential for influencing others Power can be used “to change the course of events, to overcome resistance, and to get people to things that they would not otherwise do.”15 However, the fact that a leader, or anyone else, has power does not guarantee that he or she will use it—or use it well Possession and use are two different matters Whether a leader will use power depends on many factors One principal reason leaders resist using their power, even when they can, is because they believe doing so will generate negative reactions As has been said, “For many people, power is a four-letter word.”16 The famous, but somewhat exaggerated, statement of this view of power was made more than a century ago in Britain, when Lord Acton wrote to Bishop Mandell Creighton that “power tends to corrupt [and], absolute power corrupts absolutely.”17 It is not too difficult to think of an organization where a would-be leader used power inappropriately This was illustrated some years ago when a chief executive officer of a consumer products manufacturer was removed from office, even though he had presided over a major turnaround that had brought the company out of bankruptcy The reason he was dismissed was because of the way he used his power to intimidate subordinates On occasion, he even threw objects at them when he was angry His actions so severely damaged morale at the company that the board of directors had no other option but to find a new CEO.18 It would be quite misleading, however, to regard power only from the perspective of the damage it can In many circumstances, a leader’s skillful use of power can produce positive outcomes Frequently, though, the problem in organizations is not that leaders use too much power but rather that they fail to use the power available to them.19 This was noted by two behavioral scientists who have studied leadership extensively when they said: “These days power is conspicuous by its absence Powerlessness in the face of crisis Powerlessness in the face of complexity .”20 CHAPTER • LEADERSHIP 211 Types and Sources of Power Power, however used, does not arise spontaneously or mysteriously Rather, it comes from specific and identifiable sources The two major types of power, based on their sources, are position powers and personal powers.21 Position power is based on a manager’s rank in an organization Personal power is based on a person’s individual characteristics Clearly, someone who wants to be a leader could have large amounts of both types of power, which should facilitate the exercise of influence For example, think about whether Taylor Ridout Gray, featured in the opening profile, had access to both types of power and whether this helped her to exercise influence There are also circumstances where a would-be leader might be low on both types of power, in which case the task of leading obviously would be more difficult For instance, a lower-level manager who lacks the initiative to develop new products or programs and who is a poor communicator would find it difficult to inspire subordinates to put out extra effort to make changes and reach new goals This manager lacks personal power and would be unlikely to be promoted—thus, also failing to increase his position power In many situations, though, a potential leader who is low in one type of power—for example, a person occupying a relatively junior-status position—can compensate for that by having very strong personal leadership characteristics that are recognized by other people, regardless of the person’s formal status in the organization To help us better understand the nature of power in organizations, it is helpful to think about several subtypes of position power and personal power (see Exhibit 8.3).22 position power power based on a person’s position and rank in an organization personal power power based on a person’s individual characteristics POSITION POWERS The powers associated with a position, include legitimate power, reward power, and coercive power Legitimate Power Legitimate power is a type of position power granted to a person—for example, a manager—by the organization It is sometimes called formal authority In the work setting, legitimate power is intended to give a manager the right to expect compliance by his or her employees It allows the manager to initiate or stop actions.23 In today’s organizations, however, with increasing levels of education of the workforce and changing societal norms about what is “legitimate” authority, the effectiveness of this type of power has distinct limits (The Manager’s Challenge box “Leadership Experience Counts” describes one set of leaders who have learned how to exercise this type of power but also understand something about those limits.) Often, subordinates will disagree about the scope of a manager’s authority; that is, they question the boundaries regarding “appropriate” requests For example, in the past, many managers expected their secretary or assistant to make personal appointments for them and perform other nonwork-related services Today, the relationship between a manager and his or her assistant has changed, and these types of requests are generally not considered legitimate The precise scope of legitimate authority in today’s complex organizations is ambiguous, and the resulting agreement between manager and subordinate can typically be more implicit than explicit, leaving room for potential conflict In addition, the extent of a manager’s formal authority is bounded by subordinates’ perceptions of that person’s credentials If the basis of a person’s selection for a managerial position is questioned, the leverage of Position Powers Legitimate—How much authority does the organization give to your position? Reward—Are you able to give others the rewards they want? Coercive—Are you able to punish others or withhold rewards? Personal Powers Expert—Do you have knowledge that others need? Referent—Do others respect you and want to be like you? legitimate power (also known as formal authority) a type of position power granted to a person by the organization EXHIBIT 8.3 Types of Power 212 PART THREE • LEADING CHANGE A MANAGER’S CHALLENGE Leadership Experience Counts—Especially Coping Experience I n almost any human endeavor that requires the exercise of skill, experience can be a potentially great asset This is especially so when the activity of leadership is involved But, not all types of experience are equally valuable when it comes to leading people in organizational settings One type of experience that does seem to be highly valuable, however, is learning to cope with ambiguity, change, and the unexpected One set of potential leaders in organizations who are particularly likely to have developed good coping skills are military veterans, especially officers who have had experience in leading subordinates in combat-type situations Furthermore, not only military officers have opportunities to learn lessons from their experiences in the field, but they also have had extensive prior training that helps prepare them to learn effectively from those experiences In the immediate decades following World War II, many executives had had this kind of experience For example, even in 1980, 59 percent of CEOs of large U.S companies had had such experience However, by the year 2006, that percentage had shrunk to only percent Subsequent to that year, though, due to the number of recent deployments to conflicts in various parts of the world, returning veterans are again becoming a promising source of managers with already-developed leadership skills and extensive coping experiences What is it about their experiences that make these former military officers especially credible as potential leaders in civilian organizations? In the words of U.S Army General David Petraeus, “These are pretty formative experiences It’s a bit of a crucible-like experience that they go through.” Another knowledgeable observer, a former British army officer concurs: “[Military officers] can analyze problems and produce solutions in a very short time [They] make tough choices every day.” Or, as Noel Tichy, noted management professor at the University of Michigan, puts it: “There’s a pool of these officers who have had the kind of under-fire judgment experience that makes them really valuable.” The fact that military officers who have completed their service in recent years are especially well equipped for leadership roles is no accident In 2001, a special panel, convened by the U.S Army, issued a report based on a year-long study of the qualities that officers would need in the changing set of circumstances in the post-Cold War era It concluded that “self-awareness” and “adaptability” were the two mostneeded attributes in today’s officer In the view of one former officer, “The Army has accepted that the future is uncertain and learned to embrace risk.” Similarly, GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt, in response to a question about what impressed him most about those with recent military experience, said: “Dealing with ambiguity.” Other pluses that observers have noted are “cultural sensitivity and ability to build new relationships” and “a highly tuned awareness of resources: budgets, equipment, and people.” Not everyone can have—and many certainly would never want to have—the experience of leading others in combat or similar dangerous situations, but everyone can learn something from their variety of experiences that helps them learn to cope better with rapid changes and unexpected events Military experience just happens to be one type that can especially accelerate such leadership relevant learning Sources: McCall, M W., Lombardo, M M and Morison, A M , “Lessons of experience: How successful executives

legitimate power is somewhat reduced For example, take a medium-sized firm where the CEO decides to appoint a close relative with little knowledge of the business to an executive-level position that in the past was filled by employees who worked their way up through the ranks In this case, subordinates may not acknowledge that the relative has a right to the formal power that would normally be associated with the position, and thus they might not respond to requests rapidly and enthusiastically This would probably be especially the case in many Western work situations, but perhaps not as much so in Asian cultures, where family connections are viewed as more appropriate for determining who should occupy high-level positions In essence, though, in most organizational settings, formal authority represents power, but it definitely is not unlimited power 480 GLOSSARY command group (also known as a supervisory group) critical incident a specific incident in which the em- a group whose
