Abstract: Abstract While prescriptive models of leadership often remain a mirage, the bureaucratic Taylorian model spread remarkably well in the wake of the industrial revolution. Its effectiveness was the result of a straightforward command-and-control approach based on rational methods to organize operations. Leaders could operate without excessive effort as they relied on the hierarchical bias to exercise power and extrinsic motivators like carrots and sticks. This rational approach did not take into consideration the basic motivators that are essential to engage followers in a fruitful collaboration. It remained strongly influenced by our inherent predispositions and four cardinal biases, which were allowed to operate freely.
