Van Vugt, M., Hogan, R., & Kaiser, R. B. (2008). Leadership, followership, and evolution: Some lessons from the past. American Psychologist, 63(3), doi: / X This article analyzes the topic of leadership from an evolutionary perspective and proposes three conclusions. Although it offers an historical perspective, I use only one of the the authors’ points about leader-follower relations in early human societies. To support my project question of what makes one person a better leader than others, I will focus on the point that, “leadership cannot be studied apart from followership and that an adequate account of the leadership process must consider the psychology of followers” (p. 193). The authors have a wide range of expertise in the area of business leadership. Van Vugt is on faculty at University of Kent; Hogan and Kaiser work in business systems assessment. The article appears in the highly cited, peer-reviewed journal, American Psychologist. Relevancy what does this item provide for your story?
