About State-Bank-of-India: Introduction to Authentic Leadership
The study of leadership as a subject started as early as the mid-nineteenth century. Systematic research on the topic, however, started in the 1930s. Since then, we have had various theories of leadership, attempting to explain the process of leadership, and suggesting different styles of leadership. More recent research has focused on different concepts (rather than styles) of leadership. “Authentic Leadership” is one such concept of leadership.
In recent times, upheavals in society have energised a tremendous demand for authentic leadership. Terrorist attacks, corporate and banking scandals, “fake news” and fears of business influence on politics have all created anxiety and uncertainty. People feel apprehensive and insecure about what is going on around them, and as a result, they long for bona fide leadership they can trust and for leaders who are honest and good. The growing public demand for trustworthy leadership makes the study of the emerging concept of authentic leadership more timely than ever.
