À quoi sert le chef ?

Thierry Weil

Revue française de gestion, 2002, vol. n° 139, issue 3, 187-194

Abstract: Key individuals, elites, high ranked executive officers and managers : what are the common features of the head of an organisation ? Far from overestimating their importance, Thierry Weil underlines the fact that on the contrary March shows that the success of organisations is seldom explained by the role of their leader. By tackling one of the major management myth, March dismantles the idea of a charismatic leader while keeping a partial aspect of this concept. Actually the leader remains the actor who supplies the organisation with its world perception and enhance the emergence of common targets.
