The Symbiotic Triad of Blue Ocean Leadership, Hope Preservation, and Self-Connection

Abstract

This chapter explores the relationship between three concepts that are essential for effective leadership in the 21st century: blue ocean leadership, hope preservation, and self-connection. Blue ocean leadership is an approach that aims to unlock the untapped talent and energy of employees by focusing on what acts and activities leaders need to undertake to boost their teams' motivation and business results. Hope preservation is the ability to maintain a positive and optimistic outlook in the face of challenges and uncertainties, while self-connection is the awareness and alignment of one's values, passions, and strengths with one's actions and goals. This chapter argues that these three concepts form a symbiotic triad that can enhance leaders' effectiveness and performance, as well as their well-being and satisfaction. The chapter also provides practical suggestions on how leaders can apply the symbiotic triad in their own contexts.
