The Lifeworld of Leadership

The Lifeworld of Leadership refers to the personal, social, and cultural context in which leadership happens. It encompasses a leader’s experiences, values, relationships, and beliefs that influence how they interpret situations and make decisions. This concept recognizes that leadership is not just about strategies or structures but also about understanding and engaging with the human aspects that shape interactions and motivation. Essentially, it’s about the everyday world leaders navigate—their perceptions, emotions, and connections—that deeply impact their effectiveness and authenticity.
