Abstract

Since the 19th century, leadership has always been a topic of common concern in the theoretical and practical circles. During this period, a large number of leadership theories have emerged, all of which have analyzed leadership from different perspectives. From the perspective of relationship management, this paper proposes the 5M model of leadership, which divides leadership into five dimensions: managing oneself, managing superiors, managing subordinates, managing colleagues, and managing external partners. Especially in the management of external partners, the 6P principles are proposed. This article provides guidance for holistic cognitive leadership theory, points out the importance of managing external partners and organizational leadership, and provides new perspectives for future leadership research and management practice.
