Abstract
In the realm of leadership, much attention has been given to counting, describing, and operationalizing the various types of leadership that exist (Parker & Welch, 2013). Research on leadership often seeks to uncover the differential effects of leadership style on a variety of outcome variables (Robinson, Lloyd, & Rowe, 2008). This presentation will illuminate an additional, less-considered area of leadership research, chiefly by presenting the idea that leadership exists at the intersection of one's asserted leadership identity (the identity which they actively perform) and one's imposed leadership identity (the identity which other people perceive).
