One topic of discussion this week is leader emergence, or how an individual comes to be seen as a leader by other people. Leader emergence can occur because people have formal or informal power and/or they fit with the prototype of who a leader is.
Reflect on this week’s lectures and readings. Respond to the discussion questions below and post your answers on the discussion board. Make sure you respond to all of the questions! Your post should be 200–250 words in length.
Are leaders born or made?
Can people learn how to cultivate and leverage personal sources of power (e.g., referent, expert, etc.)?
Can people modify their behavior so as to appear more leader-like, based on the attributes associated with implicit leader prototypes (e.g., charismatic, extroverted, dedicated, etc.)?
