Abstract

Looks at factors such as changing leadership roles, empowerment and the creation of value from the perspective of a young elephant offered a leadership role for the first time. Illuminates these factors through the advice of a wise old uncle and his explanation of what lies behind the concepts. Reports on an imaginary elephant conference held in “Tuskany” where such elements were discussed and cites five key characteristics demanded of the new form of leadership. These include factors such as the ability to build rapport, the ability to gain respect and shared values.
