Abstract

Globalization has increased the interest in understanding leadership within and across cultures around the world. Adding to this is the political dynamics in the world, which further enhance the need to better understand major cultural expectations people have of those in decisionmaking roles in society. As we consider leadership around the world, we can reflect on the scholars of previous centuries around the world who advised their rulers and the leaders of their time, such as Confucius in China, Machiavelli in Europe and Saadi, Nasir Toosi, Nezamolmolk in Iran. In more modern times Thomas Carlyle, Mao Zedong, Karl Marx and Max Weber are some who have written about the leader and leadership in various parts of the world. In the last century, the empirical approach has added to these philosophical endeavours, emphasizing the importance of the layperson’s expectations about leadership, which in turn guide their judgment and behaviours as they interact with or as a leader. This line of research is known as the implicit leadership theory (Lord & Maher, 1991; Lord, 2005).
