Zusammenfassung
Mit ‚authentischer Führung‘ werden das Verhalten und die Merkmale von Führungskräften beschrieben, die sich in der Interaktion mit anderen aufrichtig und transparent verhalten, eine gute Selbstkenntnis bzgl. ihrer Stärken und Schwächen haben, moralische Werthaltungen internalisiert haben und sich kongruent zu diesen verhalten. In diesem Kapitel werden zunächst die theoretischen Grundlagen und die Evidenz aus der bisherigen Forschung zu authentischer Führung und ihren Auswirkungen zusammengefasst. Anschließend werden Maßnahmen zur Förderung und Tipps zur praktischen Umsetzung von authentischer Führung vorgestellt. Schließlich werden zwei Instrumente diskutiert, die zur Messung der Ausprägung authentischer Führung und somit zur Evaluation von entsprechenden Trainingsprogrammen für Führungskräfte eingesetzt werden können.
