Scientists from various disciplines such as psychology, sociology, philosophy, anthropology, history, management, and political sciences, pose questions and try to give answers to various issues from different points of view. At the same time, several practitioners describe their experiences and suggest rules, principles, and methods which most of the time come in the form of a prescribed recipe. Even the definitions of leadership amount to thousands. So, one, just from these first few lines without even having to go deeper into studying the phenomenon, can easily abide by the highly cited paradox as articulated by the great leadership scholar James Burns: “while the leadership is the most widely studied phenomenon at the same time it’s the less understood.” So, since with this book we aspire to contribute to a better understanding of leadership, we believe that prior to introducing the definition and importance of leadership meta-competencies, it is important to acquaint the reader with the most popular, useful, and influential theories that seek answers to the fundamental issues of leadership, namely emergence and efficiency.
