Leadership Gobeldegook!
November 7th, 2007 | by Bill |I have been reading an excellent handout about leadership Past, Present, and Future by John Antonakis, Anna T. Cianciolo and Robert J. Sternberg. There is one sentence which really caught my attention
” Finally, another example of a hybrid-integrative framework is that of Bass (1985), who integrated transformational and transactional-type theories, as well as discussing possible individual - difference correlates and contextual factors affecting leader emergence.”
Call me thick if you like but what the ….. does that mean! Ok, perhaps it all makes sense if your read the whole of the article
The point I am trying to make is keep leadership simple. Don’t over complicate this subject.

<p>I think you are right. We should make life easier - not more difficult.</p>
