Concept information
Preferred term
task leadership
Definition
- When between one-third and one-half of recent scholarly leadership articles are devoted to transformational leadership (where followers' goals are broadened and elevated and confidence is gained to go beyond expectations) or charismatic leadership (where leaders by force of their personal abilities are capable of having a profound and extraordinary effect on followers), one wonders whatever happened to plain, unadorned leadership directed toward task completion. The answer is that such leadership, here called “task leadership,” is alive and well and still serves as an irreplaceable leadership component. [Source: Encyclopedia of Leadership; Task Leadership]
