Discuss social identity theories of leadership

Investigate the role of social identity processes in shaping leadership emergence, group dynamics, and intergroup relations. Discuss social identity theories of leadership, such as the categorization-elaboration model and the leader categorization theory, in understanding how individuals define themselves and others in terms of group memberships and social categories. Analyze research findings on the impact of social identity salience, ingroup favoritism, and intergroup competition on leadership perceptions and behaviors, as well as interventions for promoting inclusive leadership and reducing identity-based biases in diverse organizational contexts.
