Abstract

In the shadow of various business scandals and societal crises, scholars and practitioners have developed a growing interest in authentic leadership. This approach to leadership assumes that leaders may access and leverage their “true selves” and “core values” and that the combination of these two elements forms the basis from which they act resolutely, lead ethically, and benefit others. Drawing on Heidegger’s work, we argue that a concern for authenticity can indeed instigate a leadership ethic, albeit one that acknowledges the unfounded openness of existence and its inherent relationality. On this basis, we propose an ethics-as-practice approach in which leaders respond to the situation at hand by being “attuned to attunement,” which cultivates an openness to otherness and a responsibility to others.

领导真实性与伦理:海德格尔的视角
在各种商业丑闻和社会危机的阴影下,学者和实践者对真正的领导力产生了越来越大的兴趣。这种领导方法假设领导者可以访问和利用他们的“真实自我”和“核心价值观”,这两个要素的结合形成了他们果断行动、道德领导和造福他人的基础。借鉴海德格尔的作品,我们认为,对真实性的关注确实可以激发一种领导伦理,尽管这种伦理承认存在的毫无根据的开放性及其内在的关系。在此基础上,我们提出了一种伦理实践方法,在这种方法中,领导者通过“协调协调”来应对手头的情况,这培养了对他人的开放态度和对他人的责任。

期刊介绍: Business Ethics Quarterly (BEQ) is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal that publishes theoretical and empirical research relevant to the ethics of business. Since 1991 this multidisciplinary journal has published articles and reviews on a broad range of topics, including the internal ethics of business organizations, the role of business organizations in larger social, political and cultural frameworks, and the ethical quality of market-based societies and market-based relationships. It recognizes that contributions to the better understanding of business ethics can come from any quarter and therefore publishes scholarship rooted in the humanities, social sciences, and professional fields.
