The social identities of those around you affect how they view you as a leader and how they view, and thus work with, others. Leaders can use an understanding of social identity to decrease their likelihood of misunderstanding others, increase their openness to different perspectives, and enhance their skill at accurately interpreting situations that call on their ability to lead.","PeriodicalId":100873,"journal":{"name":"Leadership in Action","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77571761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
