Abstract: Abstract The concept of post-heroic leadership is defined, following the dimensions of shared and servant leadership. From the post-heroic view, leadership is firstly defined by its sharedness, focus on collective achievement, teamwork, and shared accountability. Secondly, it is seen as a social process, with human interactions at its core. Servant leadership is composed of six key characteristics: empowering and developing people, humility, authenticity, interpersonal acceptance, providing direction, and stewardship. We need post-heroic leadership to find viable solutions for complex tasks, that include both uncertainty and interdependence.
