Abstract

We just covered how critical the persons running the business are to ensure the success of a business. Let us take a deeper look at leadership now and move towards examination of the “self” of the leader. Is leadership a case of nature or nurture? Are we born leaders? Or can we grow to become good leaders? There have been endless dialogues about this issue, and even research— for example, testing children in psychological settings and following them through adulthood, even testing fish to see what we can learn about leadership in schools of following fish (Nakayama, 2013). Some claim that most leaders are extroverts, or bolder and more active (Campbell, 2019). Others say leadership can evolve, especially with positive feedback (Kuisma and Meltovaara, 2021). We may not have the answer to this dilemma, and it is probably a bit of both; however, we shall still be able to discuss how important keeping an eye on “self” is, as we take on more and more managerial responsibilities. And we shall see that it is key that we effectively cannot lead our organizations if we do not understand ourselves and do not take care.
