Abstract

Scarcity in writings regarding common good leadership calls for a review of existing documents to help establish a connection between the common good and leadership literature. The method for this article included a literature review and content analysis. In order to identify the theoretical foundations for common good leadership, interactions between the fields of common good and leadership were established. Leadership styles associated with the common good were mapped, along with their most relevant characteristics, specifically traits, and skills of potential common good leaders. The article provides an integrative definition of common good leadership that intertwines basic assumptions of the notions of common good and main leadership characteristics. This is the first time that a definition for common good leadership has been provided.
