American Psychologist Article:
Leadership, Followership and Evolution

Robert Hogan, Rob Kaiser and Mark Van Vugt recently published an article in the American Psychologist.
The article analyzes the topic of leadership from an evolutionary perspective and proposes three conclusions that are not part of mainstream theory. The authors draw several implications of evolutionary analysis for leadership theory, research, and practice.

Why is leadership important? During times of peace and prosperity, it seems not to matter. However, when politicians start wars, when business leaders gamble with our life savings, and when religious leaders create violent sectarian divides, leadership becomes a matter of life and death.
