The Good Manager: An Archetypical Quest for Morally Sustainable Leadership
通过分析管理学者和实践者创作的虚构故事，揭示人们对好经理的想象如何产生悲剧性讽刺的叙事，而非简单的道德故事，探讨道德可持续领导力的可能性。
This paper explores the potential for morally sustainable leadership, i.e., leadership with an awareness of both light and dark sides contained in the role of the leader, as symbolized by the archetype of the king. A narrative enquiry aiming at the study of fictive stories authored by management theorists and practitioners from different contexts, interweaving collective individual elements, brings to light how issues of leadership goodness are related to each other and to other themes. The stories are presented as archetypical tales, that is, stories that touch profound aspects of culture and the psyche. They reveal what happens when people are asked to imagine a good manager, and how this results in tragic ironic representations, rather than tales of straightforward goodness.
