Abstract
Folkert Mulder’s research delves into the emerging paradigm of ‘multiple leadership’, challenging traditional hierarchies in favor of a collaborative approach. This shift from vertical to horizontal leadership perspectives is vividly illustrated through professional sports teams, whose interdependent dynamics and performance pressures shed light on the nuances of shared command.
Through qualitative studies, this dissertation explores the rise of ‘multiple leadership’ within teams, where diverse leadership styles contribute uniquely to collective success. It extends into ‘intergroup leadership’, examining the intricacies of steering multiple autonomous groups, particularly within the Dutch political landscape of coalition-building.
This work not only bridges the gap between theory and practice but also offers valuable insights into leading amid complexity, advocating for an appreciation of pluralistic leadership as an effective strategy in contemporary organizations.
