https://doi.org/10.26794/2226-7867-2021-11-1-132-135
Abstract
Nowadays, an “eminence grise” is a person who does not officially hold a leadership position, but because of his personal qualities, behaviour, and experience plays a rather important role in management. The “eminence grise” is an obligatory competent person with outstanding organizational and intellectual abilities, and more often than not, he is not public. The article analyses the historical origins of the concept, and also reveals the main psychological characteristics that an “eminence grise” should have.
