Riassunto

In a text that is both academically descriptive and managerially prescriptive, Wexler (management and organizational studies, Simon Fraser U., Canada) develops a cognitive-based contextual model of leadership and explores the way organizational leaders view the world and their leadership roles. He describes leaders as having series of assumptions that can be described in terms of four instrumental worldviews: the entrepreneurial world view held by the "buccaneer leader" focused on profit maximization, the regulatory worldview held by the "bureaucratic leader" focused on uncertainty reduction, the communitarian worldview held by the "participative leader" focused on meaningful existence, and the network worldview held by the "knowledge leader" focused on novelty and adventure. He also identifies "anchor skills" for each worldview and explores how his case study leaders utilize such skills in negotiating with those with opposing worldviews.
