Impacts of Organizational Evolution on Leadership Roles and Behaviors

This paper explicates a link between the concepts of leadership, followership, and environment. In particular, the paper develops a conceptual scheme to facilitate the identification of leader-follower relationships which are best suited to specific environmental contingencies. This typlogy is then used as a basis to identify some of the specific interventions that would be appropriate in moving from one environmental situation to another.
