Propósito del Instituto de Liderazgo

Human flourishing

  • What is it?

  • Why talk about flourishing?

  • Leadership Model

  • What is a Leader?

Human flourishing is the conscious, positive development of individuals, achieving their full potential in their physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual and social dimensions.

  • We are facing a new era that could be called the Human Age (Manpower, 2011). This new era is defined by a particularly dynamic, changing environment that requires the generation of awareness of the need to leave the old leadership paradigms behind and develop new ways of understanding it.
  • In this new era, the leadership deficit has been defined as one of the ten most important challenges faced by humanity and, in the opinion of José Antonio Fernández and Salvador Alva, the first and most important is undoubtedly just that, since, without leaders, who will tackle the challenges of the future and how are we, as a society, going to deal with them?
  • The need to build new, more appropriate strategies to address current challenges reflects a new scenario in which leadership acquires a new prominence. A large part of these strategies lies in the maximization of talent, developing people’s potential in volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous settings. The proposal to link leadership to happiness could possibly be considered as the generation of a blue ocean.
  • Human flourishing and happiness are extremely valuable for society, so their scarcity makes them a priority.
  • The term flourishing is presented as a revised, corrected proposal of the early definitions of happiness and implies an evolution in which happiness will no longer be identified as a unidimensional variable, but rather as a new version in which happiness or flourishing is considered as a multivariable construct.
  • The earliest definitions of happiness presented an eminently hedonistic approach that was identified with subjective wellbeing, while the current concept of human flourishing is related to plenitude or self-fulfillment, encompassing other elements apart from pleasure or positive emotions.
     

Considering this initial analysis and in order to progress in research on leadership and flourishing, a new construct needs to be developed based on the following elements: self-awareness and environment awareness, meaningfulness, positiveness, resilience and commitment.
