Abstract

What if action defined leadership? By pushing the idea of “leadership-as-action” to its logical conclusion, I hope to show that it has the potential of introducing much needed discipline to a field of research that has been built on weak conceptual foundations and as a consequence is hampered by fragmentation and diversity. With action as an organizing idea, a pivot, around which leadership revolves, leadership theory and practice can be advanced toward a more unified and coherent body of knowledge. Following a brief discussion of some of the noted difficulties and weaknesses, the paper explores the notion of “act of leadership,” the peculiar conceptual field (labeled “the fourth domain”) within which such acts take place and the distinctive attitudes, behaviors, and evaluation standards that follow.

如果行动定义领导力呢?

如果行动定义领导力呢?通过将“领导即行动”的理念推向其合乎逻辑的结论，我希望表明，它有可能为一个建立在薄弱概念基础上的研究领域引入急需的学科，从而受到碎片化和多样性的阻碍。有了行动作为一个组织思想，一个支点，领导围绕着它旋转，领导理论和实践就可以朝着一个更加统一和连贯的知识体系发展。在简要讨论了一些值得注意的困难和弱点之后，本文探讨了“领导行为”的概念，这是一个特殊的概念领域(标记为“第四领域”)，这种行为发生在其中，以及随之而来的独特态度、行为和评估标准。

期刊介绍： Administration & Society seeks to further the understanding of public and human service organizations, their administrative processes, and their effect on society. The journal publishes empirically oriented research reports and theoretically specific articles that synthesize or contribute to the advancement of understanding and explanation in these fields. Of particular interest are (1) studies that analyze the effects of the introduction of administrative strategies, programs, change interventions, and training; and (2) studies of intergroup, interorganizational, and organization-environment relationships and policy processes.
