A General Theory of Leadership

William G Cook, James Wells
Muma Business Review  •  Volume 8  •  2024  •  pp. 111-124
Luis R. Visot is an American educational administrator and former Army commander who served as a Major General and Chief of Staff of the United States Army Reserve. During a three-interview series Visot reflects on his life, his most significant leadership roles, and the meaning he attaches to each. The interviews and subsequent analysis reveal how Visot’s values, especially those imbued by his parents early in life, directly influence his leadership style and personal priorities. The application of thematic analysis demonstrates the linkage between values, beliefs, behaviors, and reflections, thus providing evidence for the values-expressive behavior theory.
Thematic narrative research, value-expressive behavior theory, phenomenological, qualitative research, coding, leadership, lived experience, interview, and reflection.
