Abstract
Andragogical leadership is a term yet to be coined. The evidence from four interviews with experts indicates that it might be a promising solution to grasp the fast and disruptive transformation processes companies are currently facing. Based on the research results, the author argues that andragogical leadership is a set of responsibilities that might at best be taken over by passionate experts in a shared leadership approach. The genuine implementation of andragogical leadership either requires or goes hand in hand with a transformation toward self-directedness, a participatory culture, and the democratization of an organization. Future research requires theoretical discussions and practical experiences contributed by experts from business studies, humanities, and psychology. The relevance of andragogical leadership and its potential to be a solution to urgent questions was proven within this chapter.
