Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 2,0, Växjö University, course: Leadership Theories, language: English, abstract: What makes a great leader great? What kind of skills does he use? Gandhi was a leader of one of a kind. He was truly inspirational and stood up for ethical values that all too often got lost nowadays. Still many people worship them and would like to live up tyo them. His values and beliefs can easily be applied in business life and are a wakeup call to organizations. As recent events as for instance the Financial Crisis have shown us, thinking about profit without moral behaviour will lead to devastating results.
