Expanded Leadership Taxonomies

After the development of Situational Leadership, a third taxonomical category was recognized independently by Goran Ekvall and Jouko Arvonen in 1991 and Gary Yukl in 1997. Yukl describes the resulting taxonomy as a three dimensional model of leadership behavior. They were influenced by the theories of charismatic leadership and transformational leadership to add change-oriented behavior to the existing categories of task-oriented behavior and relations-oriented behavior. Love Leadership adds metaphorical labels of prophet, priest, and king to these taxonomical categories. Descriptively, these taxonomic categories align with historical terms as shown:

Model	Prophet	Priest	King
Ohio State Studies	N/A	Consideration	Initiating Structure
Michigan Leadership Studies	N/A	Employee orientation	Product orientation
Fiedler	N/A	Relationship oriented	Task oriented
Blake and Mouton	N/A	Concern for people	Concern for people production
Hersey and Blanchard	N/A	Relationship behavior	Task behavior
Ekvall and Arvonen, Yukl	Change-oriented behavior	Relations-oriented behavior	Task-oriented behavior

Towards a more complete prescriptive theory, love leadership suggests that the degree of prophet, priest, and king behaviors be varied for a given situation.

Leading as Prophet, Priest, and King.

Three Spiritual Offices
And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father;
to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen
Revelation 1:6

And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Ephesians 4:11

Prophet, Priest, and King are the three spiritual offices held by Jesus. They correspond to the three functions of the leader within the leadership process described above. In the prophet role, the leader sees the vision and is the seat of creativity. In the priest role, he communicates the vision and develops the people who must run with it. In the king role the leader is the administrator who manages the organization. The three realms help to highlight the importance of love leadership.
