Menschenbild (in this context)

German to English Bus/Financial Management
"Das Führungsverhalten wird durch Moral- und Wertvorstellungen sowie Annahmen über **Menschenbilder der Führungskräfte** maßgeblich beeinflusst."

None of the definitions I can find for Menschenbild seem to fit in this context. Any ideas? Thank you!
