Application Questions Read the Research Brief below. When leaders show positive emotions, the effect on followers is positive, creating positive moods and also creating tendencies toward positive leader ratings and feelings of attraction to the leader. These are the major conclusions from four research studies conducted by Joyce E. Bono and Remus llies, and reported in Leadership Quarterly . Noting the growing interest in the role of emotions in leadership and recognizing the emotional aspects of transformational leadership, Bono and Illes set out to examine how charismatic leaders “use emotion to influence followers.” They advanced hypotheses as indicated in the figure, expecting to find that charismatic leaders display positive emotions. that positive leader emotions create positive follower moods and that positive follower moods generate both positive ratings :1 the leader and attraction toward the leader. These hypotheses were examined in a series of four empirical studies. The researchers concluded that positive emotions are an important aspect of charismatic leadership. They found that leaders rated high in charisma choose words with more positive emotional content for m statements and speeches. They also found that the positive mum of leaders were transferred into positive moods among followers; that is, the positive leader moods were contagious. They also found that followers with positive moods had more positive perceptions of leader effectiveness. One of the limitations of these studies, as pointed out by Bone and llies is that they only focused on positive leader emotions. This leaves open questions of how leaders use negative emotions and how these emotions affect followers. Also, the researchers suggest the need to examine the impact of leader moods on follower performance and creativity. 1. While perhaps agreeing with the logic of emotional contagion, should we conclude that a leader can never have a “bad" day and can never communicate, verbally or nonverbally, anything other than positive emotional messages? 2. Is it realistic for managers to live up to these expectations to always be positive?
