“…In contrast to servant leadership’s normative focus, empathetic leadership acts as a more descriptive theory about how leaders behave, with normative views being restricted to how a leader should act to achieve a given goal (Parris & Peachey, 2013; Tuomo, 2006). Similarly, servant leadership places follower needs and outcomes as paramount—even above achieving leader or organizational goals while empathetic leadership remains silent on how to balance the needs of these three stakeholders (Parris & Peachey, 2013; Sarkar, 2016). From this viewpoint, one can view empathetic leadership as taking a more collaborative approach—leaders must take into account follower needs, but they must also satisfy organizational, follower, and their own needs.…”

“…(forthcoming -May/June 2019) http://doi.org/10.1016/j.bushor.2018.11.003 See final version at: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0007681318301885 18 and ethical responsibility. The current discourse on Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) might be inspiring to deal with this important aspect (Sarkar, 2016;Stahl et al, 2017). Besides that, the current corporate governance both in Europe and the USA might not be prepared to face the challenges of VUCA and therefore more research should be done in this regard.…”
