Introduction

Are leaders “in control” of their organizations? If they are: how? If not: who or what is? In this presentation we will explore the relational space that tacitly directs organizational life, and as such “leads” leaders, followers and institutions. We will explore how leaders may supplement responsibility for decisions and events with response-ability towards all the stakeholders. Doing so requires an understanding of how a commitment to rules and moral duties should be balanced with discretion and responsiveness.
