Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter takes a psychobiosocial approach in an attempt to identify an overarching leader type. We use the term 'psychobiosocial' rather than 'biopsychosocial' to highlight and underscore the psychological (behavioral, cognitive, and motivational) aspects of the leader with consideration of relevant biological and social contributing factors. We include biological factors within the leader and biological responses of leaders to stressful situations in our effort to identify a holistic definition of effective leaders. We include social factors because leaders influence others to execute leadership. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
