Leadership Tension Areas

Urs P. Jäger

Chapter 8 in Managing Social Businesses, 2010, pp 130-141 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Goal of the chapter: In profit organizations, leaders define clear financial objectives. The core principle is: What can be measured, can be managed. In social businesses, leaders have difficulties defining clear-cut targets. They act in the area of tension between civil society’s and the market’s goals. Therefore, the question of this chapter is: What are leadership tensions between social mission and market rationale? In this chapter, the reader is introduced to normative leadership approaches, understands leadership tensions between markets and civil societies and gets an idea of misinterpretations in the context of leadership.
