The ideal outcome is a scholar and/or professional who can work independently, not simply following in the footsteps and example of their mentor(s). In many instances, the developmental process requires the graduate student to be a mentor to others, whether that be for less experienced scholars (e.g., undergraduate students) or in a reverse mentoring role (e.g., guiding their faculty advisor). Effective mentoring is particularly challenging when the relationship is mediated through virtual engagement, which is the case for many online degree programs.

As the term itself indicates, destructive leadership is a leadership style that violates the well-being or job satisfaction of subordinates, and destroys value for the organization directly, or through less motivated and effective employees. Despite such negative effects, some members might prosper from it and may even support destructive leadership. Worse, sometimes destructive leaders are promoted. If the organization rewards destructive leaders with promotions and responsibility, followers may see these behaviors as a way to get ahead and destructive behavior can become a part of the organizational culture. The literature still reports increased turnover intentions. In the current article, the consequences of destructive leadership on leaders and followers are examined. Specifically, destructive leadership is examined through a literature review and by using Gresham's law as an analogy. Gresham's law states that “bad money drives out good money,” and the current article demonstrates that a Gresham-tendency can also be observed for leaders under certain circumstances. Thus, the current study converts Gresham's law into a conceptual model for the evolution of destructive leadership in organizations. The proposed model qualitatively describes how various types of destructive leaders influence the organization under certain circumstances.</p>","PeriodicalId":45503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Leadership Studies","volume":"17 3","pages":"5-26"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jls.21864","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134992152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current paper provides a critique, stemming from logic, of a reductionist approach to leadership in popular sources. The reductionist approach is manifested in propositions such as “possession of trait and/or behavior X makes one a leader.” First, the logical fallacy of the undistributed middle is explained. Second, the paper presents the appearance of the fallacy of the undistributed middle in leadership training and popular leadership materials. The paper demonstrates that popular unchecked traits and/or behavioral understandings of leadership generate misleading and logically flawed statements about leadership. The understanding of leadership built on such statements both originates and increases the ambiguity of the term leader and it likely results in ineffective training programs and actual performance on the job.</p>","PeriodicalId":45503,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Leadership Studies","volume":"17 3","pages":"28-35"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134975383","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}
