What does it mean to be a good leader? The question of leadership personality is being discussed anew today. A well-founded insight into current leadership concepts forms the theoretical framework within which this question is analyzed in relation to concrete leadership actions in social organizations: traditional leadership models are reaching their limits, and current demands and organizational models require a rethinking of goals and governance. The increase in complexity is met with organizational professionalism, which restricts the scope for leadership. Helmut K. Anheier, Julia Evetts, Howard Gardner, Hans H. Hinterhuber, Rolf Wunderer, and many others give shape to the concept of leadership.
