In this review paper I examine the ancient wisdom on how to make good leadership decisions that Antigone offers. Creon, Antigone's ruler, preconizes the traditionally masculine leadership conduct, with hubristic tyrannical tendencies, that deliver tragic consequences. Antigone schools Creon and its audience, firstly, by identifying the behaviors and circumstances that favor bad and untimely leadership decisions. Then Antigone presents the wisdom of phronesis as the way forward for good and timely leadership decisions. Phronesis is a pragmatic, measured rationality that comprises prudence, and a sensibility to the context, openness to dialogue, and to the other. Phronesis also calls for an open and flexible relation to error, to changing one's mind. The focus is not merely on the leader but on the relations, their differences and opportunities, and what everyone involved in the specific circumstances of the decision can offer when listening and learning from each other. Phronesis becomes part of a modus operandi that prefigures collaborative leadership. Collaborative leadership is predicated on the collective and individual flourishing central to the dawn of democratic rule and the dilemmas Antigone examines. This review essay shows how today we still need Antigone in deepening our democracy and making better leadership decisions.

Antigone：关于 Phronesis 以及如何做出良好及时的领导决策

在这篇评论文章中，我研究了 Antigone 提供的关于如何做出良好领导决策的古老智慧。安提戈涅的统治者克瑞翁将传统的男性领导行为预设为带有傲慢专横的倾向，这会带来悲剧性的后果。Antigone 对 Creon 及其听众进行教育，首先，通过识别有利于错误和不合时宜的领导决策的行为和环境。然后 Antigone 提出了 phronesis 的智慧，将其作为良好和及时的领导决策的前进方向。Phronesis 是一种务实的、有节制的理性，包括审慎、对环境的敏感性、对对话和对他人的开放性。Phronesis 还呼吁与错误、改变主意建立开放和灵活的关系。重点不仅在于领导者，还在于关系，他们的差异和机会，以及参与决策的具体情况的每个人在倾听和相互学习时可以提供什么。Phronesis 成为预示协作领导的作案手法的一部分。协作领导基于集体和个人的繁荣，这是民主统治的曙光和安提戈涅所考察的困境。这篇评论文章展示了今天我们如何仍然需要安提戈涅来深化我们的民主并做出更好的领导决策。协作领导基于集体和个人的繁荣，这是民主统治的曙光和安提戈涅所考察的困境。这篇评论文章展示了今天我们如何仍然需要安提戈涅来深化我们的民主并做出更好的领导决策。协作领导基于集体和个人的繁荣，这是民主统治的曙光和安提戈涅所考察的困境。这篇评论文章展示了今天我们如何仍然需要安提戈涅来深化我们的民主并做出更好的领导决策。
