Abstract

Unlike the extensive scholarship on leadership in related disciplines, research on leadership in advertising is almost nonexistent. This study investigates practitioner views on attributes and styles of effective agency leaders in the US, UK, and Australia using GLOBE’s (Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness) Culturally Endorsed Leadership Theory. All three regions are part of GLOBE’s Anglo cultural cluster. The research examines whether the theory’s central proposition—that leadership in global contexts has universally endorsed elements but is also culturally contingent—is valid in an advertising setting. Using a mixed-method approach, data were collected from agency staff and leaders via 255 survey responses and 40 in-depth interviews. Findings indicate that the best leaders are seen as people-focused, collaboration-driven, and future-oriented. Integrity, vision, and inspiration are top leadership attributes, with collaborative and performance-oriented leadership styles considered the most effective. Views were fairly consistent across regions, with some nuanced differences. One interesting difference from main GLOBE findings is the emphasis on soft skills as a core component of effective leadership. Future research should examine this further, as well as the relationship between leadership and agency culture, millennial and gender differences, and leadership training challenges and also examine advertising leadership across other GLOBE cultural clusters.

美国、英国和澳大利亚的广告代理领导力:有效属性和风格的混合方法分析

摘要

与相关学科领导力的广泛研究不同,广告领导力的研究几乎不存在。本研究使用 GLOBE(全球领导力和组织行为有效性)文化认可的领导力理论调查从业者对美国、英国和澳大利亚有效机构领导者的属性和风格的看法。这三个地区都是 GLOBE 的盎格鲁文化集群的一部分。该研究检验了该理论的中心命题——即全球背景下的领导力具有普遍认可的元素,但在文化上也具有偶然性——在广告环境中是否有效。使用混合方法,通过 255 次调查回复和 40 次深度访谈从机构工作人员和领导者那里收集数据。调查结果表明,最优秀的领导者被视为以人为本、协作驱动、并且面向未来。正直、远见和灵感是最重要的领导属性,协作和以绩效为导向的领导风格被认为是最有效的。各地区的观点相当一致,但存在一些细微差别。与主要 GLOBE 调查结果的一个有趣区别是强调软技能是有效领导力的核心组成部分。未来的研究应进一步研究这一点,以及领导力与机构文化、千禧一代和性别差异以及领导力培训挑战之间的关系,并研究其他 GLOBE 文化集群中的广告领导力。各地区的观点相当一致,但存在一些细微差别。与主要 GLOBE 调查结果的一个有趣区别是强调软技能是有效领导力的核心组成部分。未来的研究应进一步研究这一点,以及领导力与机构文化、千禧一代和性别差异以及领导力培训挑战之间的关系,并研究其他 GLOBE 文化集群中的广告领导力。各地区的观点相当一致,但存在一些细微差别。与主要 GLOBE 调查结果的一个有趣区别是强调软技能是有效领导力的核心组成部分。未来的研究应进一步研究这一点,以及领导力与机构文化、千禧一代和性别差异以及领导力培训挑战之间的关系,并研究其他 GLOBE 文化集群中的广告领导力。
