Leadership Styles during Disruption: A Multi-Case Study

In: Leadership - Advancing Great Leaders and Leadership

  • Alberto Abadia

Abstract

This chapter reviews relevant literature in order to identify the leadership framework and profile that may better characterize entrepreneurs and business leaders that eventually founded or developed disruptively successful firms--popularly known as "unicorns." Next, the chapter describes a conducted multi-case study that demonstrates a strong correlation between the positive checkmarks in the selected leadership framework--visionary leadership--and the profile of the leaders of nine different international corporations that became industry leaders in less than 20 years (Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, General Electrics, Toyota, Alibaba, Tencent, and Inditex).
