PHILOSOPHICAL TENSIONS AMONG LEADERSHIP, EFFICIENCY, COMMUNITY—AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR THE ACADEMY
Journal Title: Studia Gilsoniana - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue
Abstract
In any age, at any given time, there are leaders who fail to lead by example. The desires which motivate them, and the means they deploy to cover for this fact, can weave paths of destruction with social costs borne by those who can least afford them—including within the academy. Taking the right steps—both professionally and spiritually—at least theoretically make this avoidable. This article addresses select topics in light of ancient perspectives and recent phenomena alike, including those of: the harmony of Thomistic personalism with stakeholder theory and transformational leadership, respectively; the relationship of Augustinian realism to cognitive dissonance theory and the composition of boards.
