What Makes a Balanced Leader?
Ein Kapitel aus dem Buch What Makes a Balanced Leader?

Abstract

Balance is essential to effective leadership, yet studies on balanced leadership are scarce and incoherent. This theoretical study uses incidents from Prophet Muhammad’s life to demonstrate the concept of balanced leadership utilizing a situational approach. It provides a survey of the perspectives on balanced leadership in the Eastern, Islamic, and Western literature. It highlights different leadership styles and exhibits Muhammad as a versatile leader. The study establishes a balanced leadership framework by identifying seven principles of balanced leadership that were extrapolated from Muhammad’s biography and synthesized from the literature. It introduces a new perspective on balanced leadership that emanates from holistic leadership. The principles offer insights for leaders to practice leadership on a level more balanced than current leadership conventions. Future research can excerpt from the rich prophetic biography further principles to propose a comprehensive framework for balanced leadership.
