Le chef formel est celui qui tient l'autorité de sa position dans l'organigramme, et à qui l'organisation institutionnalisée a donné son rôle en lui assurant un pouvoir de contrôle ou de sanction. 6, record 1, French, - chef%20formel
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Dans les groupes organisés au sein d'une institution, le chef tient ses pouvoirs [...] de cette institution [...] : elle lui confère le droit de commander et les moyens de se faire obéir. [...] Mais il arrive que le chef institutionnel (le "responsable" vis-à-vis des échelons supérieurs) n'accomplisse, en fait, qu'un très petit nombre d'actions de leadership, et que se manifestent des "leaders occultes", dont l'importance pratique est loin d'être négligeable. 7, record 1, French, - chef%20formel
