Sustainable leadership practices in the tuna canning industry in general Santos city Philippines.

Abstract

The study would like to find out if the level at which the organizations have implemented or applied the 23 Honeybee leadership elements are the reasons these individual companies have sustained for 35 years. Data and information were obtained by depth interview of selected employees from six organizations. The result of the study is that the organizations are practicing at least 19 of the 23 Honeybee leadership elements however, another revelation was found out in the course of the study that the organizations need to immediately address and this is discussed in the recommendation part. The relevance of knowing this is to provide guidance to the Tuna Canner’s Association of the Philippines (TCAP) to ensure that the industry will go a long way, even prepare itself for the inevitable change impacting the industry either from internal (within the Philippines) or external forces coming to the region by way of ASEAN integration.
