This study investigates the relevance of leader characteristics in influencing the leadership trust formation among subordinates through a structural model. Although previous studies on leadership trust have identified such antecedents, specific structural models of leadership trust formation are not established hitherto. Hypothesised relationships...

Given the social, cultural, and psychological nature of entrepreneurship (where various initiatives, strategies and policies might help realign entrepreneurs’ perceptions with the global trends during the time of uncertainty), the present research is of significant scientific value for the EU’s economies in the area of deep-tech entrepreneurship. The comparison of two countries representing the Southern and Nordic Europe (Malta and Lithuania, which entered the EU in 2004) helps understand the impacts of cultural and social norms and leads to significant global leadership recommendations for policymakers, governmental program experts, and innovation-driven entrepreneurs. Moreover, reshaping entrepreneurs’ perceptions, attitudes, inspirations, and intentions, along with their interpretation of opportunities or threats in the post-pandemic period, might help improve the entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship dynamics. Although, the literature on the contributions of cultural and social norms to the business environment is well established, the specific effects of cultural and social norms (such as the fear of failure or social trust) should be more investigated via creative leadership, HR strategies, technological innovation (in particular, process and service), along with effective/ efficient risk management and the key strategic partnerships.The aim of this chapter is to identify and measure impacts of cultural norms on the entrepreneurship dynamics considering the Covid-19 pandemic crisis, while comparing two rather different cases (Malta and Lithuania). The research question is how entrepreneurs should unleash the opportunities during the time of change (after COVID) in a particular cultural and social context. The expert interviews with the innovators from Lithuania and Malta will help examine the role of modern technology within the changing business environment, which in parallel affects the role of cultural and social norms.KeywordsCultural and social normsImpactsEntrepreneurial opportunitiesFear of failureSocial trustPandemic crisisSustainability
Having transitioned from a locally confined endeavor to a complex nonlinear dynamic system, our global economic environment increasingly requires organizations to constantly transform. But more and more often traditional change projects fall short of expectations as huge amounts of energy are burned in fighting internal resistance or employees’ disconnect in the process. Transforming companies from inside instead of enforcing change from outside can lead to a much more lasting impact but requires a new evolutionary level of leadership that transcends our traditional mental models of management.
Soul-driven Leadership is able to activate the core elements of the Corporate Soul through an inclusive process, setting free the necessary self-stimulating inner drive for integral change to happen. It helps a collaborative culture to emerge and aligns the organization towards a common purpose, making transformation “exothermic” and sustainable. Through a process of “Merging the Souls,” it can even ensure that in acquisitions and merger processes, relationships are rapidly rebuilt “below the waterline” so that a new organization can instantly pick up momentum.
Um über diejenigen Schlüsselkompetenzen zu verfügen, die für nachhaltigen Erfolg in unserer neuen Wirtschaftsrealität notwendig sind, müssen wir Organisationsorganismen schaffen, die intrinsisch motivieren und gleichzeitig ein Engagement im Sinne des Gesamtsystems fördern. In diesem Kapitel wird ein ganzheitliches Organisationsmodell vorgestellt, welches alle wesentlichen Randbedingungen, die für intrinsische Motivation entscheidend sind, mit einem kollektiven Fokus auf das Gesamtsystem integriert. Auf dieser Grundlage wird gezeigt, welche positiven Konsequenzen eine solche „Bionische Führung“ nicht nur für unternehmerische Entscheidungsprozesse, sondern auch für Krisenmanagement, Bilanzierung und Unternehmensbewertung hat. Am Ende wir der Leser nicht nur ein Werkzeug in der Hand halten, mit dessen Hilfe jede Organisation erfolgreich umgestaltet werden kann, sondern auch über ein umfangreiches Verständnis der wesentlichen Mechanismen verfügen, die den Update des Home Economicus charakterisieren.
