“…A growing body of research suggests that these subtle transient cues may have important consequences on leadership perceptions and information processing (Dinh et al, in press;Lord & Shondrick, 2011). In fact, research on embodiment and embodied cognitions (Niedenthal, Barsalou, Winkielman, Krauth-Gruber, & Rie, 2005;Pfeifer & Bongard, 2006) indicate that the physical morphology and materials that compose the human body (e.g., shape of the body and limbs, muscle elasticity, and plasticity of the skin) have an indelible effect on higher cognitive thinking.…”

“…The latter reveals that perceptual features, such as vertical positioning in space, influence leadership perceptions. Finally, Lord and Shondrick (2011) highlight the significance of nonverbal channels, such as leaders' appearance and voice in creating solid embodied perceptual constructions which contribute to leadership perceptions. These three studies, as well as previous lines of research (Rosette et al, 2008;Scott & Brown, 2006), emphasize the significance of perceptual components in understanding symbolic information.…”

The aim of the two studies presented here was to add to our knowledge about the contribution of facial expression to the perception of leadership. We assessed participants' prototypes of leadership. In addition, participants were shown pictures of different facial expressions. First impressions of leadership from the facial expressions were compared to the participants' prototypes. The results indicate that the participants used all available information, including facial appearance, expression, context of communication, appropriateness, and authenticity of expression to form complex prototypes. When the facial expressions in the studies matched the participants' prototypes, first impressions of leadership were higher. Therefore, understanding what is inside the perceiver's mind is significant for understanding leadership perceptions. On the basis of these two studies, we recommend that leaders should be aware of the influence their facial expressions have on their followers' perception of their leaderlikeness.

The aim of this paper is to review recent developments in leadership theories from paradigm perspective and introduce the new frontiers and challenges of leadership theories and practice. Considering that organizational analysis is rooted in different social science paradigms, "scientization" was likely to result in hegemony of a single paradigm in management field-and in specific leadership studies-by suppressing knowledge claims of other paradigms. In conjunction with this, the study attempted to verify whether the leadership field is dominated by modernistpositivist approach by analyzing the trend in last 15 years from this perspective. Findings of the review significantly demonstrated that the recent developments in the field can be described as a transition from a modernist-positivist approach towards more balanced fashion which employs both retrospective and interpretive approach in leadership studies. However, it is also underlined that integrative perspectives that consider how disparate leadership theories-66 different leadership theories in specific-relate or operate simultaneously to influence the emergence of leadership phenomena is crucial.
