Am I a leader? Examining leader identity development over time

The development of leader–member exchanges: Exploring how personality and performance influence leader and member relationships over time

Scholars have long recognized the importance of leader–member relationships for a host of important outcomes, including satisfaction, performance, and citizenship behaviors. Yet, relatively little research has explored how these relationships develop over time. Using a longitudinal design and growth-curve modeling, we examine the development of leader–member relationships from the initial inter...

Agreeing on a Leader in Real-Time

We devise a method for maintaining the continuing availability of a vital service in a real-time sharedmemory multi-processor fault-tolerant computer system. The essential characteristics of the service to be provided are given by the following four properties. (1) The service can be correctly provided by any one operational processor acting alone, but an error will result if multiple operation...

Leader-following Consensus Problems with a Time-varying Leader under Measurement Noises

In this paper, we consider a leader-following consensus problem for networks of continuous-time integrator agents with a time-varying leader under measurement noises. We propose a neighbor-based state-estimation protocol for every agent to track the leader, and time-varying consensus gains are introduced to attenuate the noises. By combining the tools of stochastic analysis and algebraic graph ...

Leader Role Inversion as a Corollary to Leader-Member Exchange

Polylogarithmic-Time Leader Election in Population Protocols

Population protocols are networks of finite-state agents, interacting randomly, and updating their state using simple rules. Despite their extreme simplicity, these systems have been shown to cooperatively perform complex computational tasks, such as simulating register machines to compute standard arithmetic functions. The election of a unique leader agent is a key requirement in such computat...
