NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING AND LEADERSHIP: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY ON LEBANESE MANAGEMENT
Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a field concerned with interpersonal communication to enhance individual as well as group dynamics. Consequently, new patterns of behavior and communication are developed and applied in many fields including the business field. Patterns encompass not only observable actions, but also the thinking processes and the organization of people’s states-of-mind, including their emotions and how all senses are used to reach a point of attention or concentration. With the focus on creating models of human excellence, many applications of NLP have been developed including leadership related applications. A need to explore and assess NLP in the Lebanese work environment has been raised in order to define the workplace dynamics between leaders and subordinates as gleaned from data gathered from several Lebanese companies. Accordingly, the main purpose of this paper is to assess NLP patterns and behaviors, as practiced by a sample of Lebanese employees and managers, in order to shed light on current leadership practices in the Lebanese workplace and the consequences of such a practice on the organization’s objectives. This research is exploratory, descriptive and quantitative using a survey questionnaire. Results are expected to assess the workplace environment by defining the dynamics of the relationships between employees and managers that are believed to play a significant role in the assessment of the organization’s health.
