Extreme Leadership: Leaders, Teams and Situations Outside the Norm
A book edited by
Dr. Cristina M. Giannantonio and Dr. Amy E. Hurley-Hanson
Chapman University
Orange, CA USA
INTRODUCTION
While much is known about leaders and teams in traditional business settings, much less is known about the behaviors and processes of leaders and teams facing extreme situations. An extreme situation is defined as one that falls outside the norm; that is, the situation falls outside the scope of daily experience (Giannantonio & Hurley-Hanson, 2011). There are numerous historic and contemporary examples of leaders and teams that have survived extreme situations in both business and nonbusiness settings. Business examples include the exponential growth of Apple and Facebook in the midst of the current challenging economic environment. Historic examples include Sir Ernest Shackleton’s Endurance expedition, while more recent examples include the first responders to the events of 9/11 and the 2010 Chilean mine disaster and rescue effort. Companies are facing global and economic environments that fall well beyond the scope of their daily experience. One way to contribute to management practice is to better understand leaders and teams that exist, and thrive, in extreme situations.
OBJECTIVE OF THE BOOK
This book offers an alternative lens through which to view successful leaders and teams by analyzing cases drawn from a diverse set of extreme situations. The book aims to develop a body of knowledge, research, and principles which can be extrapolated from these case studies. Authors may submit chapters which explore extreme leadership by focusing on extreme leaders, extreme teams, and/or extreme situations. Authors are encouraged to consider the construct of Extreme Leadership as research question. Why are some leaders successful and why do some fail? What are the factors that explain successful leadership and team behavior in extreme siutations> How do leaders and followers change as situations move beyond the norm into the extreme? What leadership lessons can be extrapolated from these examples to advance leadership research and management practice?
