Abstract

A sociologically aware, relational interpretation of project leadership has been developing, which emphasises the multiplicity of social relationships, interactions and dynamics evolving within the project and its leadership in the project environment. However, our community is at risk of producing “overly-socialized” images of project leadership, as has been the case in adjacent field of organisation studies. In this context, I introduce the notion of the politics of the self, generously aided by Parmenides of Elea, pre-Socratic philosopher (520–450 BCE), and descendant philosophers in the phenomenological/existentialist tradition. The politics of the self – the permanent political relationship that we all have with our self – suggests that the political dimension of the self is considered along with the social dimension of the self in images of project leadership in equal measure, if not more prominently.

自我的政治：项目领导者的巴门尼德/存在主义视角

一种对项目领导的社会学意识和关系解释一直在发展，它强调了项目内部社会关系、互动和动态演变的多样性及其在项目环境中的领导作用。然而，我们的社区正面临着产生“过度社会化”的项目领导形象的风险，就像在邻近的组织研究领域一样。在此背景下，我在埃利亚的巴门尼德，前苏格拉底哲学家（公元前520-450）和现象学/存在主义传统的后代哲学家的慷慨帮助下，介绍了自我政治的概念。自我的政治——我们所有人与自我之间的永久政治关系——表明，在项目领导的形象中，自我的政治维度与自我的社会维度是同等重要的，如果不是更突出的话。
