Muzafer Sherif on Leadership - Dictionary of Arguments

Haslam I 158
Leadership/Sherif: Sherif’s Boys’ Camp studies (Sherif et al 1961(1), 1969(2); >Robbers Cave Experiment/Sherif
)have also informed recent analyses of leadership (e.g., Platow et al., 2003(3); see also Haslam et al., 2011(4)). In particular, the changes to leaders’ status observed in Phase 2 of the Boys’ Camp studies show that neither even-handedness nor attempts to control others through power guarantee leadership success in all situations. Instead, leadership is contingent upon leaders advancing ingroup interests that vary with context. Moreover, in this respect too, Sherif also anticipated the argument of self-categorization theorists that ‘leadership is not a quality of leaders alone but rather of the relationship between leaders and followers’ (Haslam et al., 2011(4)).
