  • Follow the Leader: a Critical Analysis of Leadership, Followership and Wellbeing in Policing
    Follow the Leader: A Critical Analysis of Leadership, Followership and Wellbeing in Policing Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Leicester by Keith Alun Floyd MSc (with Distinction) School of Criminology University of Leicester September 2019 Word Count 81,857 1 Abstract Follow the Leader: A Critical Analysis of Leadership, Followership and Wellbeing in Policing Keith Floyd This research investigates the extent to which police leadership would benefit from consideration of the concept of ‘followership’. The research approach is influenced by Critical Leadership Studies (CLS) principles of challenging assumptions about asymmetrical power dynamics and leader-centric leadership styles. The research question asks how an appreciation of followership theory could contribute to the development of police leadership, in turn improving follower wellbeing. Four research aims informed the research approach. 1) Examination of police leadership through a CLS lens from the perspective of followers. 2) Analysis of the leader follower relationship. 3) Provision of an evidence base informing the development of leadership models to meet current policing challenges whilst satisfying the wellbeing needs of followers. 4) Analysis of the factors which effect leadership, followership and wellbeing. A mixed–method approach was designed to answer the research question and satisfy the research aims. Research method one featured quantitative analysis of a national online questionnaire, producing data on leadership style, followership typology and the relationship between leaders and followers. Research method two involved analysis of qualitative data from the questionnaire and a series of interviews conducted with practitioners and academics; expanding on the questionnaire findings whilst further exploring the individual, organisational, external and theoretical factors which influence the leader follower relationship in contemporary policing.

THE ROLE OF FOLLOWER VARIABLES N RATINGS OF PERSONALIZED AND SOCIALIZED CHARISMATIC LEADERSHIP by Lindsay Marie Giaccani-Gomes This study explored under-researched follower "individual difference" variables (Machiavellianism, Collectivism, Self-concept Clarity, and gender) that had not been previously studied together in predicting perceptions of a charismatic leader. One- hundred and twenty college students were given a survey packet containing a fictitious speech given by a CSU president, the Mach IV scale, the Individualism-Collectivism scale (INDCOL), and the Self-concept Clarity scale (SCC). The results suggested a significant relationship between Mach scores and identification of the leader motives (personalized vs. socialized). High Machs under-identified highly socialized charismatic leaders, while low Machs over-identified highly socialized leaders.

Le jeune Atari, 12 ans, vole un avion et se rend sur l'île pour rechercher son fidèle compagnon, Spots. Aidé par une bande de cinq chiens intrépides et attachants, il découvre une conspiration qui menace la ville. Critique presse : « De fait, ce film virtuose d'animation stop-motion (...) reflète l'habituelle maniaquerie ébouriffante du réalisateur, mais s'étoffe tout à la fois d'une poignante épopée picaresque, d'un brûlot politique, et d'un manifeste antispéciste où les chiens se taillent la part du lion. » Libération - La Rédaction « Un conte dont la splendeur et le foisonnement esthétiques n'ont d'égal que la férocité politique. » CinemaTeaser - Aurélien Allin « Par son sujet, « L'île aux chiens » promet d'être un classique de poche - comme une version « bonza? de l'art d'Anderson -, un vertige du cinéma en miniature, patiemment taillé.
