- A Terminal Assessment of Stages Theory: Introducing a Dynamic States Approach to Entrepreneurship (2010, neutral): “According to this process theory, entrepreneurs can generate a new cycle of opportunity tension that extends the potential capability of their organizations by reformulating its dynamic state (Lichtenstein & Plowman, 2009).”
- Leadership in the Plural (2012, background): “These conceptual papers (Lichtenstein & Plowman, 2009; Lichtenstein et al., 2006; Uhl-Bien & Marion, 2009) also consider leadership as an emerging phenomenon resulting from dynamic interactions among organizational members across organizations and inter-organizational spaces.”
- Does Entrepreneurial Leadership Foster Creativity Among Employees and Teams? The Mediating Role of Creative Efficacy Beliefs (2019, background): “Following Renko et al.’s (2015) conceptualization of entrepreneurial leadership, we argue that this style enables a firm to be more entrepreneurial by motivating employee creativity (Breugst et al. 2012; Lichtenstein and Plowman 2009; Swiercz and Lydon 2002).”
- Leaders' sensemaking under crises: Emerging cognitive consensus over time within management teams (2015, background): “Crises involve a movement away from stability to established new goals (Lichtenstein & Plowman, 2009) and also imply a time pressured change relative to standard operating procedures (Mumford et al., 2007; Williams, Pillai, Deptula, & Lowe, 2012).”
- Leadership for organizational adaptability: A theoretical synthesis and integrative framework (2018, neutral): “…Klar, Schreiber, and Akif Erdener, 2016; Mehra, Smith, Dixon, and Robertson, 2006; White, Currie, and Lockett, 2014, 2016), complexity (Lichtenstein and Plowman, 2009; Plowman et al., 2007; Schneider and Somers, 2006; Uhl-Bien et al., 2007), innovation (Carmeli, Gelbard, and Gefen,…”
- Model of complexity leadership development (2013, background): “Based upon complexity thinking, autocatalysis and tension are intermediary mechanisms through which system adaptation occurs and the distal outcomes of creativity and innovation become more possible (Lichtenstein 2000; Lichtenstein and Plowman 2009).”
- Entrepreneurial leadership: Insights and directions (2017, background): “For their part, Lichtenstein and Plowman (2009) draw on three empirical studies which document emergence in distinct contexts (Mission Church, new business ventures and Branson theatres) to develop a model for the leadership of emergence built around nine behaviours.”
