Abstract
This study will investigate leadership styles in Gr
eek enterprises. In my research, I used
the case of multinational corporations in Greece an
d Greek family-owned businesses
to investigate peculiar traits of leadership styles
of Greek managers. Multinational cor-
porations offer an ideal setting to investigate whe
ther and how cultural differences
affect leadership styles because local and internat
ional managers and expatriates are
routinely exposed to these potential differences as
they interact with one another.
Family-owned businesses offer an ideal setting to i
nvestigate traditional leadership
style reflecting Greek cultural traits. I used semi
-structured interviews, conducted via
personal meetings, online meetings and e-mails to c
apture the experience of managers
in these organizations. I also used the relevant li
terature, case studies, and databases
as secondary data to guide and support my research
by analyzing different leadership
styles, the relation between leadership and culture
, and how they affect organizational
performance.
My aim for this research was to answer the followin
g questions:
•
What are the most common leadership styles in Greek
enterprises?
•
How do Greek managers lead so as to create producti
vity and sustainability?
•
What are the most effective and ineffective traits
of these leadership styles?
•
How should Greek managers change their leadership s
tyle to improve the per-
formance of their teams and organizations?
