title = {Leadership Styles: Inertia and changes in the Czech Republic},
year = {2013},
note = {Social Darwinism suggests that in crisis situations leaders have to be
replaced by better fitting leaders. An opposing school argues that
leaders, based on their personality, are successful in all situations
and therefore can master all situations including a crisis. A third
view concludes that leaders can learn to overcome the path dependency
of organizational structures. In this paper, the development and
essentials of these approaches of leadership research are discussed
and demonstrated in the case study of the Czech Republic after the
Velvet Revolution. The test is based on the Vroom/Yetton model of
leadership effectiveness. The results confirm that inertia and change
can be explained based on the general contingency approach of
leadership.},
