Inhoud

\Although leadership studies are relatively new as an academic discipline, leadership as a topic has been studied for thousands of years (Bolden, Hawkins, Gosling & Taylor, 2011). Starting in the early – to mid – twentieth century, initial research in the field of leadership endeavoured to explain leadership as a property of leaders. However, the presence of any or all of these traits does and did not make someone a leader, nor did the absence exclude that person from being the leader. In the following years, several theories were developed and various approaches to leadership can now be identified with varying degrees of focus on either the leader or follower, the interactive process between them, and/or the influence of the context. Recent leadership theory shifted the focus from the leader to leadership, emphasising the shared social process to which many people contribute (Pearce & Conger, 2003). 
 
Leadership, both as a research area and as a practical skill, encompasses the ability of an individual, group or organization to "lead", influence or guide other individuals, teams, or entire organizations. The word "leadership" often gets viewed as a contested term (Grint, 2005). 
 
This module has two main objectives. On one hand it provides a common understanding about theories and concepts of leadership with an emphasis on individual - and team leadership. On the other hand, it provides (practical) insights into the question: “who are you as a leader?”.
