Contrasting Perspectives on Strategic Leaders: Toward a More Realistic View of Top Managers
回顾并批评了两种主流高层管理者研究视角（积极代理理论和战略领导理论），指出其局限性，并引入人格理论、变革型领导等替代视角，为未来研究提供方向。
Previous empirical studies of top managers tend to draw from either positive agency theory or strategic leadership theory. This manuscript reviews and critiques these two approaches, outlining their advantages and inherent limitations. Because each is inherently limited, we suggest that developments in personality theory, transformational leadership theory, and visionary leadership theory can contribute to a more realistic view of top managers. Consequently, we contrast these three alternative perspectives with the two more dominant approaches in this manuscript. As a result, we identify future research directions for scholars interested in studying strategic leadership.
