Abstract

Visionary Leadership and Empowerment in SMEs

Leadership plays a central role in the growth of startups and SMEs. In a comprehensive empirical study (N = 399) within family-owned SME, the influence of visionary leadership and empowering on employees’ affective commitment and goal achievement is investigated. The empirical results show that visionary leadership and empowering positively influence employee commitment, with visionary leadership showing the strongest significant correlation to affective commitment. The effect on goal achievement, which is mainly influenced by empowering the employees, is less strong. Visionary leadership tries to balance the autonomy gained through empowering with a shared vision and to solve the dilemma between “letting go” and “having control” in the sense of a “both and” strategy.
