More than 15 years ago, a new trend emerged in the field of leadership, a “new” trend that is nevertheless based on principles that have been known for thousands of years, i.e. successful leadership is based on intuition, considered as a way for accessing to knowledge. And here I am referring to the works of by Benedict Spinoza and by Henri Bergson, for whom intuition refers to concrete knowledge of the world as an interconnected whole, as contrasted with the piecemeal, “abstract” knowledge obtained by science and observation.
But this is not what I was taught in management school.
