Leadership and the Cue See Model

Chapter Chapter 5 in Leading Value Creation, 2013, pp 125-198 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Leadership is about creating value with, through, and for people. It has been studied systematically for more than 100 years. Leadership even emerges in other species (Van Vugt, 2011, p. 141)! Human leadership evolved in the Pleistocene where our ancestors cooperated to hunt large game and share meat that enabled superior levels of survival and reproduction (Boehm, 2007; Van Vugt, 2011, p. 142). At the origin of our species, there were asymmetrical power dynamics among an authoritarian leader and followers. Forms of abusive and economically parasitic leadership were held in check then as they are today with our closest primate ancestors (Boehm, 2007). Since the beginning of our species, leaders and leadership had both economic and social exchanges, for mutual benefit. In this chapter, I review current leadership theory in the context of parasitism and the Cue See model.
