Global Leadership: An Asian Perspective

Charisma, populism, and the formation of national identity: Sheikh Mujib and Bengali nationalism

“…The Weberian idea of charisma embodies a nebulous ethos of godliness (Weber, 1968) which is no less a mythologisation of a person than that of nationalism as a mythologisation of history. Over the past century, a plethora of academic literature has been generated on leadership (Bass, 1985; Johns & Moser, 1989; Stogdill, 1974), judging the phenomenon to be everything from an ontological absurdity (Zizek, 2009; Zoller & Fainhurst, 2007) to a discourse immured in cultural practices and constructs (Chong & Fu, 2020; Ma & Tsui, 2015).

“…Leadership has been studied from myriad perspectives, including evolutionary theories (Van Vugt et al, 2008), popular culture (Kuri and Kaufman, 2020), psychology (Tuin et al, 2020), traits (Gardner, 1989;Zaccaro, 2007), and import of trust (Braun et al, 2013;Torres and Bligh, 2012), or empowerment (Avolio et al, 2004), leader-member exchange (Schyns, 2013;Yukl et al, 2013), sincerity or authenticity (George, 2003), and power (Collinson, 2005;Burns, 1979), or as a social process as opposed to individual action (Bolden, 2011;Bennett et al, 2003) to name just a few. And while leadership has been traditionally studied from a Western cultural perspective, there is now a growing trend to look at other regional (Chong and Fu, 2020;Ma and Tsui, 2015) and global perspectives (Hanges et al, 2016).…”

“…Since the early twentieth century we have expended considerable effort to understand leadership, and over the past century a plethora of academic literature has been expounded (Stogdill, 1974; Bass, 1985; Johns and Moser, 1989) adjudging the phenomenon to be everything from an ontological absurdity (Zoller and Fainhurst, 2007; Zizek, 2009) to a discourse immured in cultural practices and constructs (Chong and Fu, 2020; Ma and Tsui, 2015), yet we've still to fully comprehend the phenomenon in all its manifestations (Graen and Uhl-Bien, 1995).…”
