What is servant leadership?

Servant leadership differs from all other leadership theories in that it places the manager at the service of individuals and teams, rather than the other way around. Based on the assumption that teams are more willing to engage in their work, servant leaders are there to support and assist them in solving professional problems—and, when necessary, personal difficulties as well. In this context, they may also have to make painful decisions. Studies have shown that servant leadership contributes to personal fulfillment, which in turn leads to increased individual and collective performance, often reflected in the company’s profitability.

What is majority and minority abuse?

Can one be punished for exercising a right that is recognized to oneself? The answer, in law, has never been in doubt: while it is permissible to use one's right, it is not permissible to abuse it. Abuse of majority is the transposition into corporate law of the civil law theory of abuse of rights.

What is misuse of corporate assets?

Managing a company exposes the manager to the temptation to use its assets for personal gain. To prevent and punish this possibility, the French Commercial Code criminalizes misuse of corporate assets, a variant of breach of trust specific to limited liability companies such as public limited companies, simplified joint-stock companies, and SARLs. This offense aims to protect the assets of the legal entity and, therefore, the interests of the partners, particularly those who do not participate in management, and the interests of various stakeholders, including creditors.

What is a Takeover Bid?

A takeover bid, or public tender offer, is a transaction in which an individual or a legal entity publicly proposes to the shareholders of a publicly traded company to purchase their shares at a specified price. This price must, of course, be attractive enough compared to the current market price to encourage shareholders to tender their shares to the offeror.

What is Soft law?

Soft law, which can be translated as "flexible law," "non-binding law," or even "small sources of law," refers to all legal rules that are not officially binding but aim to recommend, encourage, guide, define, or serve as models. However, soft law is better understood in contrast to its supposed opposite: hard law. The latter consists of "traditional" legal rules, issued by a normative authority (with legislative or regulatory power), and is binding in nature — a characteristic that is reflected in the existence of sanctions.

What is solvability?

A company's solvency is its ability to meet its commitments and obligations, i.e., pay its employees, suppliers, taxes, repay its loans and debt service, and more generally, repay all its debts. There are two types of solvency: short-term solvency, referred to as liquidity, i.e., its ability to meet its day-to-day commitments, and long-term solvency, i.e., its ability to meet its commitments structurally. Financial analysis offers numerous tools for diagnosing this problem, implementing remediation decisions, and avoiding bankruptcy.
