The Mystery of Leadership

Leadership is a mystery, a mystery of community. It is connected with an­cient questions about our origins, our soul, our freedom or intended, moral questions. Leadership touches the heart of existence. It is an existential question, an existential process in which we can stand up as man. Each of us, who wants to, can be part of the leadership process.

We aim at contributing to a more fundamental approach to leadership that provides the reference for everyone who wants to participate in the leadership. It describes the leadership forces working in the organized community as they can help us to search for and strive "towards doing the good." It also can provide some guidance to all those students who not only want to master a profession but also want to show moral leadership in that profession.
