- Synopsis
- This chapter presents a psychological perspective on leadership, with an emphasis on the capabilities required for successful leadership in organizations and at the group level. The authors suggest three critical capabilities for organizational leadership that are distinct from the commonly cited personality or intelligence dimensions: the leader's diagnostic abilities, behavioral flexibility, and unambiguous signaling of intentions. At the team level, the authors describe three key leadership tasks: convening the group and developing identification, coaching group members, and setting group norms. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 6 of "Handbook of Leadership Theory and Practice: A Harvard Business School Centennial Colloquium."
