Essay on Annotated Bibliography: Leadership

Over the past twenty years, an abundant body of researches have been done to review transformational leadership and transactional leadership. Burn (1978) was the first person to introduce and conceptualize the concept of transformational leadership and transactional leadership. Bass (1985) based on Burn’s concept and deepen his notion with modifications, which stated that one of the best frameworks of leadership is transformational or transactional, but not opposing to each other. Followed by Bass and Avolio (1994), they provide the idea of these two leaderships and generalize them into the development of global economic world. Bass and Avolio (1997) also suggested that there was no need to view transformational and

To be sure, Weber’s description of charismatic leadership does not account for all of the forces at play during the election, but his theory does shed light on why many individuals view Trump’s style of leadership as different and necessary in this current political moment. Weber’s discussion of the charismatic leader as an infallible authority with a perceived legitimate claim of power highlights why Trump supporters endorsed his rhetoric despite its many logical, political, and ethical flaws. Yet, according to Weber, Trump’s current style of leadership and authority cannot last in the long-term. This may be a comforting or concerning notion, but nonetheless, sheds light on what may occur during the Trump

In The Presidential Character by James David Barber, all four personality types are explained and discussed as well as how each type affects presidency. The four types of presidents are active-positive: in which presidents show characteristics of having relatively high self-esteem, relative success, orientation towards productiveness, flexibility and adaptability, rational mastery and well defined goals, active-negative: in which presidents seem ambitious, put in intense effort for relatively low emotional reward, are striving upward, power seeking, aggressive persistently and struggle to achieve power, passive-positive: in which presidents show characteristics of having a low self-esteem, superficial optimism, hopeful attitude, being dependent, receptive, compliant, agreeable and cooperative (rather than personally assertive), passive-negative: in which presidents show characteristics of having a low self-esteem based on uselessness, doing little in politics (and enjoying it even less), a deep-rooted sense of dutiful service, are in politics because they believe they should be, lack experience and flexibility and have a tendency to withdraw and escape conflict. Each president fits into one of these categories and it shows in their presidency, in how much energy they invest into the presidency and how much they enjoy what they’re doing. If

The most common traits associated with antisocial personality disorder are general cognitive and emotional dysfunction, especially in regards to callousness, manipulation and shallow affect. This study examined specific brain functioning tendencies of both mentally healthy participants and patients diagnosed with psychopathy by comparatively analyzing their facial emotion processing. The comparison allowed researchers to determine the relationship between psychopathological tendencies in relevance to patterns of responses. Generally, people diagnosed with psychopathy demonstrate reduced autonomic responses to expressions of distress or sadness, which in turn leads

Dominance, confidence, and empowerment are a few aspects that we value most in a leader, but unfortunately forgiveness is often overlooked when it’s compared to dominate characteristics. In today’s societies, we view this trait as a sign of weakness because we believe that dominance and self-sufficiency are more of a powerful asset in being a leader than forgiveness. In fact, Susan Cain, the author of Quiet, stated that in today’s Western society we desire leaders that obtain the “Extrovert Ideal”. She defines it as the “omnipotent belief that the ideal self is gregarious, alpha, and comfortable in the spotlight.”[4] However in her argument The Power of Introverts, she outlines it as an issue in our society because we value this idea more than

First of all, narcissism is the condition being egocentric and an obdurate disregard for others’ wellbeing. The narcissistic tendencies in a potential world leader are what guide a majority of his or her actions. Furthermore, the shining confidence that expounds from a narcissist is magnetic to followers. Another term that is prevalent to understanding the process is “sociopathic leader.” This is used to describe an individual who lacks a conscience and is manipulative and ruthless in gaining power. It is beneficial to be devoid of natural human emotions because it functions as a wall, blocking out the screams of an oppressed community. Sociopathic leaders also tend to be authoritarian rulers, who appeal to fear to command constrictive obedience to authority figures. Scapegoating plays upon this suffocating fear of the citizens by alienating an entire group, usually a minority, and accusing them of causing the destruction of the country. Dehumanization of those being scapegoated erases the human qualities and releases the guilt of the community so that it can openly blame innocents. Labeling, or classifying a group of people as having a specific characteristic, assists in the dehumanization process. Although an inexperienced candidate does not technically need to have any previous political knowledge, it is extremely beneficial to understand these terms and how they will be
