This hermeneutic phenomenological study explored leadership by
means of accessing the lived experiences of leaders perceived as
being philanthropian in bureaucratic, mechanistic organizations in
Canada and the United States. Philanthropian leaders display the
following characteristics: (a) love, (b) compassion, (c) caring,
(d) altruism and (e) perceptive listening. The selection process
relied on the criterion and snowball sampling techniques as means
for choosing thirty participants for the in-depth interviews. After
the transcription of the interviews, an analysis of the data
occurred using Atlas.ti, a software program. Three themes emerged.
These themes centered on the leaders' mindsets, leadership tools
and the emergence of the philanthropian leadership phenomenon. The
implication was that employees responded positively to attitudes
and behaviors of leaders who acknowledged and emphasized the value
of employees.
