Abstract
The current study examined the linkage between leadership, team cohesion, andsuperior performance using group process and performance data collected froma strategic management simulation conducted over a four-month period. Resultsshowed that organizational leadership was not directly associated with superiorperformance (SP) of simulated firms. However, leadership was significantly associatedwith team cohesion, which in turn was significantly associated with SF,suggesting that leadership may strengthen performance indirectly by effectuatingkey group process mechanisms. Consistent with the Resource Based View of thefirm, these findings suggest that leader behavior, through its positive impact onthe development of team cohesion, can yield superior performance.
