- PurposeThe paper aims to identify and address matching problems in leader development and to propose how these problems can be dealt with.Design/methodology/approachBased on previous research, traditional leadership development (LD) is criticized and alternative approaches are suggested.FindingsThis research identifies two major matching problems in traditional LD – between participant and development effort and between development effort and realities of managerial work. A context-sensitive and emergent view of LD is suggested to address these matching problems.Practical implicationsThe paper illustrates the need of leader development that is addressing the complex nature of managerial work in a more holistic way and to help participants to understand how such complexities can be dealt with.Originality/valueAn alternative view of leader development is identified. It matches managers’ diversities and the realities of managerial work better than traditional leader development does.

- This paper describes and explains how balancing organizational structures can build traits for organizational resilience. Organizational resilience is a holistic and complex concept. In this paper, we move beyond focusing on sudden and disruptive events in favour of anticipating the unexpected in daily organizing. Organizational resilience is understood here as building traits of risk awareness, preference for cooperation, agility and improvisation and is analysed by means of a longitudinal qualitative case study. The paper contributes to the field by showing how balancing organizational structures can foster organizational resilience traits. We show that power distribution and normative control can create preparedness for unexpected events and foster action orientation at the same time as supporting organizational alignment.

- Co-workership is a Scandinavian working life concept that is based on post-bureaucratic organizing, the cornerstones of which are decentralization and a vision of responsible individual autonomy and participation. Research has shown positive results from implementing/developing co-workership in organizations; however, in terms of the post-bureaucratic character of the concept, it might be more challenging to retain positive results than to succeed with short-term development and implementation. This study aimed to describe and analyse the retention of co-workership. A qualitative case study based on interviews and observations was conducted at an elderly care unit that had attracted a lot of attention for its organizational development, largely due to co-workership. The present study focused on retention of the active co-workership that the former development had resulted in. Four main challenges were identified as central to co-workership retention. The paper contributes to the scientific community concerning retention of organizational development efforts, particularly by emphasizing the concept of co-workership retention, which is crucial for producing excellent operational performance over extended periods of time.

- Chefers agerande kan både underlätta och förhindra innovation! Chefer på alla nivåer är avgörande för nytänkande inom organisationer. Samtidigt är det medarbetarnas kompetens som skapar mervärde inom organisationer och som kan hitta lösningar på problem och tillvarata möjligheter. I dag är nya produkter ofta ett resultat av långvarigt samspel mellan människor både inom och mellan organisationer. Därför menar vi att det behövs en annan typ av ledarskap och kanske också medarbetarskap. Boken är skriven för dig som är chef, konsult eller har en HR-funktion.

Internal openness? How and why managing directors in SMEs involve employees in strategic conversations
- 2023
-
Ingår i: International Journal of Entrepreneurial Behaviour & Research. - 1355-2554. ; 29:11, s. 268-291
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- PurposeThis paper investigates the ways managing directors (MDs) in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involve employees in strategic conversations. The paper examines how managers interact with employees in strategic conversations, and why the managers do so (or do not), to generate empirically grounded knowledge about the nature of internal openness in SMEs.Design/methodology/approachThis study employs a general inductive approach and is based on in-depth interviews with 60 Swedish MDs with development and growth ambitions.FindingsThe paper develops a model of employee involvement in strategic conversations based on the nature and intensity of the MD-employee interaction. A key finding is that SMEs exhibit wide variation in terms of employee involvement, from virtually no employee involvement to, in some cases, far-reaching company democracy. The reasons for this variation are complex, but personal preferences and company size are shown to have an impact, as does, to some degree, ownership structure. In contrast to existing research, the limitations and drawbacks of involving employees in strategic conversations are outlined.Originality/valueThe study provides important insight into MDs' views and practices of internal openness in strategic conversations in SMEs. A model of employee involvement in strategic processes is outlined, and potential limitations of internal openness are highlighted.
