Welcome To The Lead
A Substack publication bringing you weekly in-depth essays on the Art of Leadership
Welcome to The Lead, a Substack publication bringing you weekly in-depth essays on the Art of Leadership in business, politics, and social contexts. I’m Larry G. Maguire, recovering entrepreneur, writer, psychology graduate and peer-reviewed author currently sitting an MSc. in Work & Organisational Psychology.
There are many facets to leadership, and many theories, both academic and applied, that attempt to grasp its essence. In the forthcoming essays here on The Lead, I will bring you these findings coupled with a healthy dose of personal experience from the trenches. The content, although aimed at helping you better lead your organisation and achieve results, will have a distinct lead towards ethical leadership. That is, the content attempts to steer readers towards a view of leadership based on sound ethical and moral standards. One that has primary concern first for human beings and the broader social need.
Socialism is a dirty word in some quarters, I understand that. However, when I use the words social need or socialism, I mean it in a humanitarian sense. It is a humanitarian social leadership for which I advocate. It is leadership anchored in responsibility toward the broader social need, one that takes in the concerns of all stakeholders and not merely a select few. It is one that doesn’t rape and pillage, but nurtures, supports and grows out of a healthy society that cares to put people first rather than organisations and commercial profit.
When we talk about leadership, we talk about taking our place within the broader social fabric of the human race and not solely that of a profit-driven corporation.
