Chercheur Turningpoint, Benjamin Pavageau, intervient lors d’un colloque à Loppiano, Italie

Durant ce colloque, Benjamin Pavageau s’est exprimé sur « the logic of the gift in shared leadership development », thème développé dans sa thèse de doctorat. L’intervention de Benjamin a été suivie d’échanges fructueux sur le rôle de l’équipe d’un leader dans la dynamique d’engagement.

Le résumé de son intervention :

Many authors argue that the development of a leader identity is necessary in the exercise of leadership (Day & Harrison, 2007). This paper presents the main results of qualitative research demonstrating that the logic of the gift develops the leader’s identity. To guard against the risk of considering the leader as the only source of leadership and the followers only as receivers, we need to confirm the role of reception of the gift in the leadership relationship, and how the members give of themselves in return. We are now therefore exploring a new research question: is the logic of the gift an explanatory factor for the construction of a leadership relationship between leader and members ?

La conférence a été organisée par le groupe de recherche HEIRS, l’Institut Universitaire de Sophia, SPES Europe et le GRACE.
