摘要
本研究的目的是将现代领导理论的交易和变革方面与美第奇统治和文艺复兴时期佛罗伦萨政治影响的历史联系起来,同时,在美第奇掌权的人文主义辩论中测试领导模型。我将重点介绍佛罗伦萨著名政治家洛多维科·阿拉曼尼(1488-1526)于1516年撰写的《Discorso sopra il fermare lo stato di Firenze nella devozione de ' Medici》(关于维护佛罗伦萨国家对美第奇的忠诚的论述)。Alamanni的Discorso与美第奇政府的第一次复辟有关,并涉及了一些问题,这些问题使马基雅维利的政治理论以及与《君主论》同期的美第奇的其他备忘录充满活力。我认为,詹姆斯·麦格雷戈·伯恩斯(James MacGregor Burns)首先提出的两种领导类型——交易型和转型型——提供了一种新的方式来说明阿拉曼尼的意图,并通过比较,说明了包括马基雅维利在内的当代作家的意图。我还将证明,与美第奇时期的其他政治著作相比,阿拉曼尼的作品更生动地体现了一种基于交易和变革范式结合的领导方法。
How Republics Perish: Lodovico Alamanni, the Medici, and Transformational Leadership
ABSTRACT The goals of the present study are to relate the transactional and transformational aspects of modern leadership theory to the history of Medici rule and influence in Renaissance Florentine politics, and, at the same time, to test leadership models against the humanist debates on the accession of the Medici to power. I will focus on the Discorso sopra il fermare lo stato di Firenze nella devozione de’ Medici [Discourse on holding the State of Florence in devotion to the Medici], written in 1516 by Lodovico Alamanni (1488–1526), a prominent Florentine statesman. Alamanni’s Discorso relates to the first restoration of the Medici government and engages with a number of issues that animate Machiavelli’s political theory as well as other memoranda for the Medici contemporaneous with The Prince. I argue that the two categories of leadership—the transactional and the transformational—first proposed by James MacGregor Burns, provide a new way of specifying Alamanni’s intentions and, by comparison, those of contemporary authors, including Machiavelli. I will also demonstrate that Alamanni’s work exemplifies more vividly than other political writings of the Medici period an approach to leadership that is predicated upon the combination of the transactional and transformational paradigms.
