Summary |
This Fieldbook is based on the premise that leadership may be constituted as a democratic approach known as leaderful practice. Leaderful practice, in turn, is based on a fundamental humanistic principle that can be simply stated: When people who have a stake in a venture are given every chance to participate in and affect the venture, including its implementation, their commitment to the venture will be heightened. Democratic leadership, no matter what form it may take-participative management, total quality management, or organizational learning-requires full participation in leadership and decision making at all levels in the organization and in multiple decision processes.
