In this article the authors examine individual and social factors that help to determine whether leaders will use their personal power to advance organizational goals or whether they will act to advance their own self-interest. Results demonstrated that although leaders often prioritize group goals, in situations where the individual thinks that their individual power is threatened leaders who were high on a trait called dominance motivation chose to work within the scope of their own self-interest at the expense of group goals. These findings underscore important traits that help to predict how and when a leader might choose personal power over the success and direction of the organization. I chose this article because it is well grounded in research and it is practical and useful for organizations. The authors’ arguments and hypotheses are grounded in evolutionary theories of power and leadership.

Does Social Norm shape our Personality? Andrew Lansley, a British Conservative politician, once said, “Peer pressure and social norms are a powerful influence on behavior” (Brainy Quote, 2015).

Leadership is the process of influencing an individual socially in order to accomplish a common task.
