Preferred term

utopian leaders  

Definition

  • Theories about ideal communities (also known as utopias, after Utopia, the name of the land created by the sixteenth-century British statesman and author Thomas More in his book of the same name) and actual experiments in utopian communities inevitably consider the leadership necessary to produce or maintain an ideal social order. Both utopian literature and the history of utopianism provide examples of diverse forms of utopian leadership. [Source: Encyclopedia of Leadership; Utopian Leaders]
