Description:
The concept of Shared Leadership has evolved, in recent years, as an alternative to the majority view whereby a leader is typical “alone in command”. It occurs whenever two members of a team, for example, engage in leadership activities jointly. The notion that leadership arises from group cognitions, interactions and behaviours rather than through a formally appointed leader has attracted attention from scholars and professionals. Along with this attention, a variety of terms has been utilized to describe the process. (Towler, 2019) Sometimes the concept of Shared and Distributed Leadership are used interchangeably, however, there is not a full overlap.
Even if we consider the many different authors that have been proposing such a model, it is difficult to establish one sole approach to Shared Leadership. The slide below, however, offers a view on the main dimensions that constitute this approach. ando also explain the reason why I have classified it here, as purpose is a critical element in the idea.
