Multi-level leadership perspectives for the common good

Abstract

The multi-level and multi-faceted nature of pressing societal issues call for leadership perspectives that reflect their dynamic and complex nature. This requires elaborated understanding of leadership, formal and informal, distributed across organizations and communities. Building on the multi-level spectrum for leadership, developed by Kuipers & Murphy (2023), this seminar will explore a number of recent studies by the Leiden Leadership Centre, dealing with various questions for leadership across levels in the public domain. We will elaborate on leadership in organizational networks, leadership across organizational hierarchies and leadership in communities - to understand their role and contribution to the common good.
