Exploring the Experience and Theory of
Collective Leadership
Professor Russ Vince
📆 Friday 1 December 2023
The pandemic and its aftermath have brought about changes to the way it is necessary for leadership to be taken up in organisations. Top-down vertical hierarchies have never been more challenged or challenging to work within – burnout is rife. People’s experience of their own and other’s authority in their work roles has been indelibly transformed. This workshop offers a lens to consider alternate ways of leading in organisations.
Exploring the Experience and Theory of Collective Leadership
Most people associate leadership in organisations with the behaviour and actions of key individuals, leadership that is distributed, shared and collective is often undervalued and misunderstood. Collective leadership, defined as ‘influence that stems from more than a single individual’, offers a lens through which to view interpersonal relationships (leadership residing in the group) and system dynamics (leadership residing in the system). It can also be understood as an approach that highlights the plural nature of leadership in practice.
In this workshop, Professor Russ Vince will explore current thinking about collective leadership. Professor Vince will present his recent research on collective emotion and collective leadership and will create an opportunity for participants to experience and reflect on collective leadership in groups.
The aim of the workshop is to explore and experience collective leadership together,
and to reflect on its relevance for contemporary organisations.
At the completion of this full-day workshop you will have:
- understood some of the thinking that underpins collective leadership
- reflected on the practice of collective leadership, and
- experienced the dynamics of collective leadership in a group.
The workshop is designed to encourage individual and collective learning on collective leadership.
What’s included in this one-day workshop?
After an interactive introduction to the concept of collective leadership, Russ will share some recent research on collective leadership in the context of the 2017 Californian wildfires. This will set the scene for experiential group work, which offers an opportunity to study collective leadership together within the workshop group.
Who should attend this immersive workshop?
This workshop is designed for NIODA community members, students, PhD candidates, researchers, leaders, managers and consultants who want to expand their knowledge of leadership in the plural.
