This episode explores leadership from two perspectives. Firstly, it examines attribution theory, detailing how followers perceive and attribute leadership qualities to individuals based on observed behaviours and situational context, using Kelley's covariation model and Calder's approach as examples. Secondly, it investigates charismatic leadership, outlining its components—including the leader's vision, behaviours, and the follower's perception—and its effects on performance and group integration, while also acknowledging its limitations and situational dependencies. The text contrasts these perspectives, highlighting both rational attribution processes and the more spontaneous emergence of charismatic influence. Both approaches address how leadership emerges and its impact on followers and the group.
