Τεκμήριο The captivator leader: leading greatly with ethos, pathos and logos(Editions Benou, 2020) Bourantas, Dimitris; Agapitou, VasiaIn this work, we present the concept of captivator leader. Drawing from the extensive leadership literature and the essentials of influential communication, we develop a theoretical model that takes into account the whole spectrum of human experience, that is heart, brain and soul, of both leader and followers. In other words, after having established that leadership phenomenon has been mostly studied fragmentally, we argue that leaders, future leaders and scholars can benefit from a more holistic approach to leadership.Τεκμήριο The great leader is "Polytropos"(2018) Papantoniou, Panagiotis; Athens University of Economics and Business, Department of Business Administration; Papadakis, Vassilis; Kapoutsis, Ilias; Bourantas, DimitrisThis Masters dissertation deals with Homers Odyssey, the second largest epic work after Iliad. The aim of which is to analyse a multi-dimensional leading figure, that of Odysseus in all aspects of his deeds and experiences. Homer before unfolding the story refers to Odysseus as Polytropos. The concept of Polytropos is not limited to a combination of skills but to a dynamic totality of behavioural characteristics, skills and values that are in constant interdependence. This dissertation, therefore, highlights not only the leadership skills and deeds of Odysseus, but also who Odysseus is as a human. Thus, this dissertation analyses the meaning of Odysseus as Polytropos both as ‘mind’ and ‘idea’ as well as his social and leadership behaviour. In addition, specific accounts of Odyssey are analysed, in which Odysseus appears both as Polytropos as well as Monotropos. The aim of this dissertation is through the analysis of Odysseus and the challenges he faced to provide some practical advice to business executives in order for themselves to become Polytropoi in a volatile, dynamic and uncertain environment.Τεκμήριο How leader’s self-criticism can influence employees’ creativity, voice and engagement through politics perceptions(10/16/2018) Markaki, Christina; Athens University of Economics and Business, Department of Business Administration; Papadakis, Vassilis; Bourantas, Dimitris; Kapoutsis, IliasThe achievement of favorable work-outcomes by employees is emerging as a critical organizational issue, especially as organizations struggle to respond to what is a continuously changing environment. The role of effective Leadership has been widely examined for its influence on employee behavior and feelings. The purpose of this study is to contribute to Leadership and Organization Behavior literature by examining a very well-defined Leader behavior, the act of Self-Criticism, and its influence on three employee work outcomes – Creativity, Voice and Engagement. The study also aims to contribute on research that explores the relationship among Leadership, context, and work outcomes, as it uses employee perception of organizational politics as the mediator variable to explain the aforementioned relationship. To address my objectives, I conducted an online survey (N= 152) using Prolific Academic - an online labor marketplace. I demonstrated that Leader Self-Criticism has a positive direct effect on employee Creativity, Voice, Engagement and Organizational Politics Perceptions and that the later, indeed, acts as a mediator variable. The theoretical and managerial implications of the findings are discussed in relation to Organizational Change, Leadership and the Positive Psychology movement.Τεκμήριο The impact of solitude on authentic leadership development: A theoretical and statistical investigation(21-04-2016) Kardasi, Ourania; Athens University of Economics and Business, Department of Management Science and Technology; Bourantas, DimitrisIn this work, we investigate the relationship between solitude and authentic leadership development. Despite the work of previous researchers in the field of Authentic Leadership (e.g. Avolio et al., 2004; Avolio & Gardner, 2005) and Solitude (e.g. Long, 2003; Long & Averill, 2003, Burger, 1995), there has been no systematic connection between these two concepts so far.Therefore, we propose a conceptual framework, which describes the role of solitude as a mediating mechanism, leading from Inner Search to Authentic Leadership development. Next, we apply this framework empirically in a large panel of firms and a sample of 140 managers and 375 subordinates, by means of Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modelling (S.E.M.). Results indicate that solitude does, indeed, fully mediate the effect of Inner Search on Authentic Leadership.
