摘要

领导理论被指责为以西方为中心。为了解决这个问题，我们通过对古巴人民的32次半结构化采访来调查菲德尔·卡斯特罗的领导。在他领导古巴革命和古巴抵抗西方霸权的50多年中，他的叙事揭示了他的非殖民化领导。研究结果对魅力型变革型领导（CTL）概念在非西方文化中的适用性提出了质疑。仁慈的家长式作风在古巴的背景下成为一个重要的附加方面。西方批评CTL以领导人为中心，倾向于英雄崇拜，在古巴样本中没有被视为问题。我们用卡斯特罗的非殖民化计划的统一效应来解释这一点。

The Leadership Style of Fidel Castro: A Decolonial Perspective

Leadership theory stands accused of being Western-centric. To address this, we investigate Fidel Castro's leadership through 32 semi-structured interviews with Cuban people. Narratives reveal his decolonial leadership as he led the Cuban Revolution, and then Cuba for over 50 years, resisting Western hegemony. Findings problematise the applicability of conceptions of charismatic–transformational leadership (CTL) to non-Western cultures. Benevolent paternalism emerged as a key additional aspect in the Cuban context. Western critiques of CTL as leader-centric and prone to hero-worship were not seen as problematic in the Cuban sample. We explain this with reference to the unifying effects of Castro's decolonial project.
