When Near is Far and Far is Near: Distance in Leader-Follower
Relationships Claremont Symposium on Applied Social Psychology
Saturday, March 6, 2010
8:30 am - 5:30 pm, Claremont Graduate University <
http://www.cgu.edu/pages/7238.asp >
* How far can a leader be from his or her followers and retain
influence?
* Does 21st century technology actually shrink the distance
between leaders and followers, or just fool us into thinking so?
* In what ways is the road to leadership still longer for women
than for men-and where are the shortcuts?
* What shrinks or widens the gap between a leader's actions and
how they are perceived?
* How does leading vast group with many members differ from
leading an intimate group?
Leaders face new challenges as they cope with changes in culture,
technology, and the workplace. The 2010 24th Annual Claremont Symposium
on Applied Social Psychology will examine the breadth of these changes
and what models might be adopted for effective leader-follower
relations. This conference brings together some of the most widely-read
scholars in the field of leadership studies. Scholars from three
continents will come together in Claremont to discuss the latest
psychological research on interpersonal leader-follower relations. Our
theme tackles the impact of distance-physical, interpersonal, and
social-on our organizations, our governments, and our societies.
