How we measure effectiveness

"Leadership effectiveness"

Define terms

Describe a taxonomy

Review literature viz. taxonomy

Make a case: we have put more focus on the fate of careers than the fate of organizations

Leadership

Defining terms

a solution to the problem of collective effort

collective goals require a team effort

influencing individuals to transcend short-term self-interest and contribute to long-term group performance

leadership is about building a team and guiding it to outperform the competition

Hogan, Curphy, & Hogan, 1994; Hogan & Kaiser, 2005; Van Vugt, Hogan & Kaiser, 2008 (see also Avolio et al., 2003; Bass, 1990; House & Aditya, 1997; Yukl, 1989)
