Configuring shared and hierarchical leadership through authoring
研究丹麦市政府在尝试实施共享领导力时，会议互动中共享与层级领导力的复杂关系，发现时间和时机是理解两者关系的关键，并揭示“书挡”等话语策略如何创造模糊空间。
How does organizing proceed when leadership is both shared and hierarchical? Who sets the context, how and when do people share influence, and who produces authoritative texts for going forward? Using the lens of authoring claims and grants (Taylor and Van Every, 2014), we display the complex relationship between shared and hierarchical leadership in meeting interactions in a Danish municipality attempting to implement shared leadership. Our findings suggest that issues of time and timing are fundamental to understanding their interrelationship. We highlight discursive devices such as ‘bookending,’ including the creation of authoritative texts, which render the shared and hierarchical leadership configuration an ambiguous space that requires interrogating the nature of leadership attributions. Finally, we demonstrate the relevance of leadership as a concept for both hierarchical and shared decision-making situations.
