Discussion

Patricia Rosas Apr 7, 2010:
Introducing Organizational Behavior and Management says: Warren Bennis (1959),... suggested that "probably more has been written and less known about leadership than any other topic in the behavioral sciences"... having become critical of the mainstream approaches, Grint offers an alternative constitutive approach. This approach contrasts with the three mainstream approaches-- trait, ,contingent, and situational -- each of which is understood to have a distinct identity in relation to whether leadership was essentially [in itals] an individual matter or one that was essentially [in itals] determined by the context." Then the figure (a box) has non-essentialist and essentialist squares.

Hi Patricia, I'm unable to open your link, but, even so, I don't think they're necessarily talking about Bennis' particular approach.

Hi Lisa. With regards to my answer, I think your text means "reverting to the substantialist postulates".
Patricia Rosas Apr 7, 2010:
sense of humor I found an entire page of "postulates" including this funny one: The factory of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog. The man will be there to feed the dog. The dog will be there to keep the man from touching the equipment.

I'm still not sure about "substantive" -- I'll keep looking...
Lisa McCarthy (asker) Apr 7, 2010:
Hi Pat I suppose it's okay as the text has already been published in Spanish. It refers to Warren Bennis (1995).
Patricia Rosas Apr 7, 2010:
Lisa: Would it be possible to have the person's name? That would make it easier to search. I think it may be "substantive postulates" ...

Peer comment(s):
neutral philgoddard : The first of your references uses "essentialist" as a noun and "postulates" as a verb, so it doesn't support your answer. The second one is an incomplete link.

point well taken on the first one; I've added the link for the second.
