Introduction In this part of the book, I will frame the Civil Economy tradition within the Business Ethics' field (Sferrazzo, 2019). In particular, the introduction will be structured as follows. In the first part, I will show the research aims and objectives of this book, by talking about the necessity of a 'leadership revolution' to cope both with the arise of the new management ideology (Chiappello and Fairclough, 2002) and with the new challenges of the market. In the second part, I will tell something about the Civil Economy tradition and how it fits with the concept of agape (Baggio, 2013), capabilities (Bruni and Zamagni, 2007) and docility (Santori and Sferrazzo, 2019). In the final part, I will introduce the connection between these three dimensions and the leadership field. 1. Premise: the Civil Economy perspective 1.1. The Civil Economy approach: Genovesi's anthropological vision of the person and the Naples tradition of Civil Economy. 1.2. The notion of agape in a civil-economic perspective 1.3. Sen's capability approach and the concept 'civil happiness' 1.4. The links between the Aristotelian-Thomistic tradition and Civil Economy In the last decade, scholars have rediscovered the Italian tradition of Civil Economy and the different vision of the market it offers, one that is anchored on reciprocal assistance in market exchange relationships. So far, scholars are discussing Civil Economy especially in the fields of the history of economic though and in economics and philosophy. Nevertheless, this chapter proposes looking also at business ethics and organizational studies through the lens of Civil Economy, especially considering its connections with a) the agapic form of love, b) Sen's capability approach and c) the Thomistic virtue of docility. This chapter constitutes that premise to show, in the following chapters, the 'agapic,' 'liberating' and 'docile' leadership styles. These leadership styles will enable to derive the civil-economic leadership model, as stressed in the conclusions. Keywords: Aquinas, agape, capabilities, civil happiness, business ethics, Civil Economy, docility, fraternity, friendship, mutual assistance, reciprocity 2. Towards an agapic leadership 2.1. The theological-philosophical notion of agape 2.2. The Agape-based organization 2.3. The agapic leadership This chapter explores the dynamics of love within models of leadership in organizations. In the philosophical literature, three forms of love are discussed, i.e. eros, philia and agape; here, I focus on the latter to delineate a new model of leadership: the 'agapic' ones. To achieve this, through an empirical study, I examine which leadership attitudes are oriented towards an agapic form of love. The study consisted of 32 semi-structured interviews, conducted in vivo with both leaders and managers of a French multinational company. I discovered that leaders' agapic attitudes generate interpersonal relationships based on fraternity and gratuity moreover, they are strongly related to sharing everything, to the adoption of subsidiarity logics, and to fostering reciprocal learning. From the findings, it emerged also a strong relation between the agapic leadership style and the Christian tradition. Keywords: agape, agapic leadership, Christian tradition, fraternity, gratuity, leadership, love 3. Towards a liberating leadership 3.1. Sen's capability approach within business ethics 3.2. Sen's capability approach as a theory for liberated companies 3.3. The liberating leadership The capability approach (CA) developed by Amartya Sen focuses on the enhancement of people's capabilities, i.e. their real freedom to choose a life course they have reason to value. Applying the CA to the organizational context, the focus of human resource management is transformed, shifting away from the needs of the organization to the freedoms of the individual. This shift happens also inside the so-called 'liberated companies,' firms with an organizational form that allows employees the complete freedom, along with the responsibility, to take any actions they decide are best (Sferrazzo and Ruffini, 2019). In this chapter I show the contribution of the capability approach for the leadership field by focusing on this innovative model of 'liberating leadership.' Keywords: capability approach, freedom, equality, happiness, leadership, liberating leadership, liberated companies, organizational ethics 4. Towards a relational leadership 4.1. The virtue of docility in Thomas Aquinas 4.2. Docility and organization studies 4.3. The relational leader Amid the growing literature on Leadership Virtues, this chapter proposes a new leadership style based on Thomas Aquinas' philosophy, i.e. the relational leadership. In Aquinas' view, the virtue of docility predisposes to the moment of moral learning from other people. These relational moments are fundamental for the arising of the cardinal virtue of prudence (practical wisdom) and, in general, for the moral development of people. My main argument is that Aquinas virtue ethics holds a 'relational' feature and that it could be worthwhile to consider its application in the contemporary debates on Leadership Virtues. Hence, I illustrate the main traits of the relational leaders and how the disposition of mutual learning improves their relationship with the followers. Finally, I sketch how the development of this relational virtue could help leaders to face some challenges of the evolving world of companies. Keywords: Aquinas; docility; leadership; practical wisdom; relational leadership; virtue ethics Conclusions In the conclusions, I will briefly resume all the chapters of the book. In particular, I will point out how the civil-economic leadership model arises from the links between the Civil Economy tradition and the dimensions of agape, capabilities and docility applied to the leadership field. I will show also future research prospects related to the leadership field.
