Parsing the 'influential increment' in the language of complexity: uncovering the systemic mechanisms of leadership influence

Abstract

This article develops theory relating the process of leadership to the social processes that sustain an organisation as a complex adaptive system. It interprets current theory in a new light and describes dynamical interactions that relate mechanisms of leadership to the organisational capabilities that have succeeded in the environment. It examines how three distinct but complementary mechanisms interact to form a leadership metacapability that evolves in organisations to positively impact both performance and adaptation.
