Leadership: A postindustrial approach

Abstract

This article focuses on the nature of leadership. Joseph Rost and Anthony Smith expose the failure of the old, industrial view which emphasizes the peripheries of leadership. Instead, they propose a postindustrial concept which concentrates on a relationship of influence between leaders and followers who agree mutual purposes and really intend to carry them out. This process of leadership contrasts with the authority-oriented approach of our traditional understanding. The authors then trace practical steps necesssary to develop this model of postindustrial leadership, describe the five 'C's of credibility needed in a leader, and suggest strategies for making the change.
