Résumé : | Based on 20 case studies constructed through life story interviews with French family business leaders, this study provides new insights into the notion of moral exemplarity. How do leaders rely on moral exemplarity to give meaning to their leadership activity and create a meaningful work environment? We show that family business leaders make sense of their leadership activity by maintaining internal consistency between their values and their behaviour and by securing external consistency between their practices and those of their employees. Our study reveals that moral exemplarity at work is not about establishing an imitable behavioural standard as a role model; rather, it is an invitation for others to voice and act on values. |
