The Nexus between Shepherd Leadership and Modern Leadership Models: A Systematic Literature Review
Journal Title: Journal of Economics, Finance and Management Studies - Year 2022, Vol 5, Issue 06
Abstract
Leadership theorists’ have time immemorial endeavoured to conceptualise the best leadership models that would meet the challenges of our ever-changing business landscape. Many theorists have postulated theories on human behaviour that seek to provide insight in effective leadership practices. Lamentably, few have sought to inquire what biblical ancient wisdom has to say on this very important subject. Thus, the purpose of this study is to conduct a systematic review of the shepherd metaphor as a leadership model. Data for this study were gathered from databases of Google Scholar, EBSCO, and JSTOR. A total of 83 articles were identified in these databases while 36 articles were discovered in other sources. 76 articles remained after deleting duplicates, 71 of these articles were examined, 37 articles were excluded, 34 complete articles were chosen to be evaluated, and after 13 complete articles have been excluded, 21 articles ultimately remained for inclusion in the synthesis. Overall, the review revealed that shepherd leadership is a potent metaphoric illustration of leadership relevant to contemporary leadership practice. The metaphor is effective today as it was some 2,000 years ago when it was first practiced.
