In the final decades of the 20th century, in the era of the birth of the so called ‘new-leadership’ – and at the same time as the growing understanding about organizational culture – work on and through values, as a leverage and component of leadership has gained importance. The issue of values received special emphasis since the GLOBE research identified value-based behaviour as a core element of the (neo-)charisma of leaders. In the light of these conceptual developments, it seems to be paradoxical why values-work has not been more extensively used so far for conceptualizing and defining leadership.

Considering the values context of establishing goals, offering purpose, and meaning, dealing with followers’ perceptions and expectations, promoting a mission, etc., in this book leadership will be dealt with from a values-work perspective.

In the first part some of the underlying and specifically related – including ’transformational’ – leadership historical tendencies will be touched upon.

The subsequent parts will be devoted to conceptual problems of values representation and values-related leadership practices at different, namely interpersonal, organizational, and societal levels.

Beyond theoretical discussions this monograph offers illustrations of some key concepts by including checklists of, survey results about, and examples on values-driven, like transformational and developmental leadership behaviours. This way it can be used not only by academics, students but by leadership practitioners, i.e., ’values workers’ as well.
