Sustainable Leadership for Entrepreneurs and Academics

Abstract

Development of leadership skills has been an issue of many discussions for a long time. A number of sources in management, psychology, and sociology emphasize the role of a leader for economic sustainability and social well-being. Many scholars have been developing and classifying leadership evaluation models. These models differ in their basic criteria of leadership—professionalism, personal motivation, responsibility, initiative, and cognitive abilities. Development of leadership skills is a long and painstaking process, for which training and educating will play a crucial role. Having analyzed the long-term experience of teaching humanities at a university of technologies, the authors have elicited a significant potential for developing leadership skills within the Daniel Goleman’s concept of emotional intelligence, methodological recommendations on knowledge management by Nonaka (The knowledge-creating company. Harvard Business Press, Boston, 68 p, 2008), and practical recommendations on the development of leaders by Adizes. In addition, the authors have described the principles of methodological support for the processes of creating and developing leadership skills in the educational process.
