In the post
‘Servant leadership’ I touched the meaning of added
attribute(s) to the word ‘leadership’. Let me continue the subject with another
example.
‘Authentic
leadership’ puts an important stress on building leader’s legitimacy through
honest relationships with followers (their input is appreciated) and is built
on the ethical foundation thusly being able to improve individual and team
performance (from: Wiki).
Authenticity
has been explored throughout history, already in times of Greek philosophers. The
‘Authentic Leadership’ book written by Bill George in 2003 got the highest level
of acceptance as part of a modern management science.
