Abstract

This chapter discusses the concept of successful leadership by presenting the historical and theoretical perspectives from the field. Following this, a summary model is provided to enable the reader a comprehensive view of the leadership process. In this model, individual traits, characteristics, and experiences of leaders, followers, and teams are represented at the start of the leadership process. The behaviors, interactions, and relationships form the second stage. These interactions produce outcomes for the individual (leader and follower), the team, and the organization. A feedback loop represents the reciprocal nature of leadership, such that outcomes are achieved (or fail to be achieved), which influences future behavior. Lastly, the context and external moderating factors may influence each stage of the leadership process. This summary draws together core tenets from established leadership theories. Following this, how successful leaders can influence outcomes at the individual (engagement, performance, creativity, wellbeing, burnout, and psychological capacities), team (shared mental models, team learning, psychological safety climate, team cohesion, and team potency), and organizational (psychosocial safety climate, organizational change readiness, and ethical organizational culture) levels are discussed. Finally, moderators of the leadership process and challenges for future research are discussed.
