Description of the research topic:
Studies on leadership both in management sciences and in work and organizational psychology (and in social psychology) changed their earlier approach that leadership is about the leader’s traits, behaviors, or the fit between the leader’s style and the characteristics of the situation. Now, they suggest that leadership is about leaders as in-group prototypes, in-group champions, and most importantly entrepreneurs and embedders of identity. To explain the success of leaders, anthropological analysis of organizational and leadership dynamics (e.g., analysis of spontaneous language products, natural observations, dilemmas) can focus on the understanding of processes instead of one-time pictures.
