Research project Managerial shared leadership
Since the turn of the millennium, a research group has studied the phenomenon of shared leadership between managers in Swedish working life. Managerial shared leadership is a practice that goes beyond traditional, singular ways of organising leadership functions. It has long been hidden behind our societies’ individualistic, heroic view of leadership.

Managerial shared leadership is where two, three or more individuals conjointly work as managers, and it is defined as an organisational phenomenon where a few individuals have and/or take mutual responsibility for the tasks included in holding a managerial position. They share leadership within the frame of a managerial position and distribute leadership tasks and power within the sharing constellation.
As a research field, managerial shared leadership continues to be studied empirically in various contexts. The aim is to contribute knowledge about managerial shared leadership as a research field and offer relevant theoretical concepts.
