Yet, the responsibility of a leader is to holders who have different values, interests and safeguard moral values, to promote them in the needs, the more important it becomes for leaders to network of leader—follower relationships and to act be able to connect with them, to understand dif- upon them in a consistent way. It is important that ferent perspectives, to balance sometimes conflicting leaders stay true to desirable moral values and claims and to act both interpersonally and ethically principles no matter how tempting or challenging a competent.

We are quite often faced with problems of terminology. Especially, it often happens in the translation from one language to another. While preparing this monograph, the authors had a number of questions on how to decouple the management culture from organization's culture and from organizational culture, how to separate management culture from managerial culture, etc.
However, having analysed a variety of scientific research, it appeared that there is no need to break down the mentioned cultures because they still overlap. Therefore, it is impossible to completely separate the management culture from the formal or informal part of organizational culture. Management culture inevitably exists in every organization, only its level of development may vary.
Thanks to the different visions and perspectives offered by a global group of authors with a broad range of expertise, the book offers a full spectrum of theoretical and practical approaches.

The collection includes contributions from experts from diverse fields such as industry, academia and non-governmental organizations, who present the theoretical underpinning of the concepts, along with real-life case studies dealing with the varied, hands-on experiences of leaders from different industries.
