No. 6 Leadership in the humanistic enterprise
Leadership encompasses the set of human capabilities that enable individuals to influence the attitudes or behaviours of other people or teams. It is a complex phenomenon, as individuals may be influenced by various leaders in different contexts -at work, ideologically or socially – and may themselves influence others in different circumstances.
In the business world, leadership exists in both formal and informal or influence-based forms. In complex organisations, leadership is exercised by many. While one individual may officially hold the role of “leader of leaders,” people at different organisational levels lead their respective teams. Even top leaders are influenced by other forces such as shareholders, clients, suppliers or executive teams.
This publication addresses topics related to civilisation and corporate humanism.
