Is Proxemics Influencing Leadership?
Journal Title: Business Ethics and Leadership (BEL) - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
In this paper, we have no intention to focus on leaders/leadership, on its relationships and debates with management. Our scope is to understand if one major component of the nonverbal communication, i.e. the proxemics, has an influence on leaders/leadership and to highlight the measure of it. Passing through the Fiedler’s Contingency Model, as an example, we may say that the charismatic and efficient leader is focused on the on the tandem task-relations. What needs to be kept is the fact we are interested in the existence of a Leader, not of a good leader. It is a contradiction in terms. In business, but also in politics, the leader is the person who dominates and convinces people around him to work or to do something for a common goal. Especially politically speaking, in these years it is needed a change of leadership to be accordingly to the new realities and major challenges and defiance of today’s world. Based even on my own experience, studying the activity and behavior of some leaders of our era and papers regarding this main issue, we concluded that the proxemics is influencing leaders/leadership, in a right measure for each leader, but significant for his actions and the state of leadership.
