摘要:This article links to an earlier one published in Intercathedra Volume no. 27-4/2011 which dealt with a rather peculiar crisis of leadership that manifested itself during the recent global financial crisis, by presenting it the context of major theoretical concepts of regional development. In that context the authors had analysed the role of regional leadership in overcoming economic growth barriers. In this article the point of departure is accepting the crucial role of leadership –both in terms of regions (or sub-regions) as well as sectors/branches of economy - in stimulating economic growth and overcoming outcomes of the crisis. It is at the same time a new challenge for those research which are open for using a set of mesoeconomic tools, being at the same time open for experience of other disciplines, including psychology of management and social psychology.
