Architects of Innovation: How Visionary Leadership Shapes and Drives Innovative Human Resources Management Practices

Abstract

This chapter examines and evaluates the complex interaction between visionary leadership and innovative human resources management (HRM) practices. Through a comprehensive review of the literature, analysis of key visionary leadership characteristics, and a focused-empirical study, the chapter reveals how visionary leaders' risk-taking and communication styles contribute to the development and deployment of innovative HRM practices within organizations. The objective is to deepen the knowledge of how innovative HRM practices are shaped and propelled by leadership, specifically visionary, while also providing new perspectives that may guide both academic inquiry and hands-on approaches to leadership development and HRM improvement. © 2024, IGI Global.
