Abstract

It is difficult to encapsulate the principal qualities of business leadership. Nevertheless, several analysts have focused on the essential quality of creating lasting value and apportioning it among all stakeholders in a balanced way, i.e. commensurate with the effective contribution of each party. The foregoing quality of leadership is deemed vital to the cohesion of the enterprise and is a crucial catalyst susceptible of triggering the energies of all stakeholders to enlarge further their enterprise’s value pie. This chapter attempts to sum up main issues and challenges in this area, including the issue of gauging the effective contribution-cum-compensation of various stakeholders in the process of value creation.
