Abstract

Having a managerial position or being a business owner usually comes with assuming an omnipotent attitude, which is what is socially expected. Among other things, this implies the expectation that the potential role conflicts do not occur or they will not impinge on the effectiveness of the decision-maker. Permanent pressure (both external and internal) induces the organizational actor to use such self-presentation strategies which will satisfy social expectations with regard to their job requirements. Organizational leaders’ narratives indicate that other aspects of life are ancillary to – not to say incorporated into – the aspect connected with business activities. The most dominating strategy involves introducing oneself as a self-driven individual, one that builds their career autonomously (‘self-made person’). At the same time, such an attitude results in ‘tensions’ between unsuitable roles or activities undertaken in various aspects of life. In this paper, these tensions are reconstructed by means of presenting different kinds of neutralization practices that are used by organizational leaders (managers and entrepreneurs) to overcome and reduce the impact of the tensions on the leaders’ careers.
