O knihe

The majority of leadership theories and studies have tended to emphasize the personal background, personality traits, perceptions, and actions of leaders.
From this perspective, the followers have been viewed as recipients or moderators of the leader's influence, and as vehicles for the actualization of the
leader's vision, mission or goals.
One of the major challengers of this dominant view was the late James R. Meindl. As an alternative to the leader-centric perspective on leadership, Meindl
offered a follower-centric approach that views both leadership and its consequences as largely constructed by followers and hence influenced by followers'
cognitive processes and inter-follower social influence processes.
As a tribute to Jim Meindl and his contributions to the field of leadership studies, Information Age Publishing is releasing a book on follower-centered
approaches to leadership. The book covers a wide variety of perspectives that acknowledge the active roles of followers in the leadership process. These
include the psychoanalytical perspective, leadership categorization theory, social identity theory, the shared leadership approach, attribution of charisma
through social networks, the role of the media in constructing images of the leader, the social construction of followership, vision implementation by
followers and a post modern approach to followership. It is hoped that the volume will provoke readers to reflect upon and extend Jim Meindl's seminal
work on followership.
