Research on leadership has traditionally focused on individual traits or characteristics of leaders, the dyadic relationship between leaders and followers and the effectiveness of different styles of leadership. However, how leadership is achieved in changing situations and contexts is less well understood. The leadership as practice approach moves beyond an individualistic perspective on leadership and considers how leadership is practised in situated interactions. Drawing on ethnographic methods this research project aims to document, analyse and categorise leadership practices. By shadowing leaders in their organizational settings, it is anticipated that new insights into how leadership is ‘done’ can be generated which will be useful for the theory and practice of management.
