  2. Seminar Objective: Organizations today need more leadership than ever to meet the needs of a dynamic and complex environment. In this talk I examine how informal leadership gets constructed in organizations. I will both present a general perspective on leadership that fits well with today’s organizations and their needs for leaders at many levels and also present the results of three studies exploring aspects of this perspective. The studies examine how the way we typically think about leadership in collective settings affects both our leadership behaviors and reactions to the leadership of others.
