Authentic Leadership, Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy, and Family Values

Abstract

The case study of this chapter disposes of the notion of profit maximization as the major driving factor of an organization. There are other salient visions that should drive profit maximization. Making a profit becomes the means to an end, not an end. The aim of this chapter is to find the probable connector between entrepreneurial self-efficacy, strong family values, and the kind of leader who possesses these combinations. The knowledge search revealed that a strong interpersonal relationship between the authentic leader to all stakeholders in the organization and the response to the same from the stakeholders to the leader is key to the success of the organization and authentic leadership. Effective leadership performance is linked to high competencies, skills, characteristics, and behaviors in meeting an organization's strategic objectives. The leader must be willing to communicate with employees within and relate to the external stakeholders in holding high the flagship of leadership.
