Conceptual stance paper reveals leadership emerges from group-level authorization and containment rather than individual traits, highlighting key shifts for organizational development and coaching.
A stance paper on where leadership actually lives: not inside leaders, but in the meeting between a move and the group's response. Grounded in seven decades of leadership scholarship, the meta-analytic measurement record (Eva et al., 2025), and three AI-orchestrated thought experiments (model defaults, a 25-body literature synthesis, and a reconstructed General Theory of Leadership deliberation). Offers a systems view of leadership built on authorization and containment, and names what it changes for development, coaching, workshop design, and assessment. Published by Bricolas.
