Abstract

Explores the research carried out on the link between stress and leadership. Explores five major themes: (1) stress and leader emergence, (2) sources of stress in the leadership role, (3) leader stress and leader effectiveness, (4) follower stress and leadership, (5) leadership and stress in followers. In essence, focuses on whether stress has a major impact on effectiveness of leaders, because, if stress impairs leader performance, then we could be forgoing much of the effects which “good leadership” can bring.
