Using Hogg's social identity theory, how could you coach a minority person who aspires to leadership in his or her organization?
What will be an ideal response?
There are two facets to this answer: First, social identity theory suggests that emergence is tied to a person's fit with the identity of the group as a whole. If a minority person does not fit the racial/ethnic/gender profile of the majority, then he or she should identify other dimensions of the group identity with which he or she does fit, such as political ideology or group mission, and
highlight those when seeking leadership. Second, research on emergent leadership identifies
some positive communication behaviors associated with leader emergence. Coaches should help
individuals practice speaking up in meetings, being well informed, being good listeners and
seeking out others' ideas, initiating new ideas, and being firm but not rigid.
