Q1) The informal role of leadership occurs when an emergent leader arises from a set of dynamics,rather than being officially assigned.
A)True
B)False
Answer: True
Q2) Is it important for followers to identify with leaders? Explain.
Answer: For any leader,the factors of favorability and effectiveness depend upon the perceptions of followers.Their identification with him implicates significant psychological ties that may affect materially his ability to be influential. The distinction made by Kelman (1961) regarding identification,internalization,and compliance has obvious relevance to the relationship between the leader and his followers.This typology might be applied to the further investigation of leadership processes.The work of Sears (1960) and of Bandura and Walters (1963),concerning the identification of children with adult models,also has implications for such study.One point is clear; the followers' identification with their leader can provide them with social reality,in the sense of a shared outlook.
