Subordinates as Threats to Leaders

Amihai Glazer and B. Segendorff

Working Papers from California Irvine - School of Social Sciences

Abstract: A leader of an organization may view a subordinate as threatening or weakening the leader's position. The threat may increase with the subordinate's ability and reduce the rents the leader wins. In particular, a leader who trains his subordinate reduces the cost to the owner of a firm in replacing the leader, and so reduces the leader's bargaining power.
