Managerial leadership: Identities, processes, and interactions
- 2012
-
Ingår i: The work of managers. Towards a practice theory of management. - 9780199639724
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Three perspectives of leadership are discussed in this chapter: the transformative (i.e., the heroic), the post-heroic and the mundane. The theme of the chapter is that if we want to understand managerial leadership as an empirical phenomenon and as a work practice, we need to base our understanding of leadership on ordinary managers’ work (i.e., the work of people who are assigned with leadership responsibilities). In order to understand leadership as a work practice, we need more theories that are grounded in managers’ behaviours rather than in the theoretical and ideological underpinnings researchers and other societal actors assign them. According to this perspective, a muddling-through manager occupied with various administrative, relational and ill-specified work tasks can do an excellent work, while it is plausible that a manager trying to act as heroic leader may cause serious problems. Management research should avoid contributing to the heroic and post-heroic misconceptions about what managers do or should be doing.

Accomplishments in consultancy work: ambiguity and distribution of praise and blame
- 2010
-
Ingår i: Discourses of Deficit.
-
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This chapter addresses identity constructions in the context of consultant-client relations in consultancy work. The focus is on how consultants and client managers use the image of each other as negative mirrors of themselves, making collaboration tension-ridden and complicated. In particular we emphasize identity dynamics around the attribution of credit and blame, drawing attention to the evaluatory and moral aspects of identity constructions in ambiguous, boundary-spanning work contexts.

Good visions, bad micro-management and ugly ambiguity: Contradictions of (non-)leadership in a knowledge-intensive organization
- 2003

Ingår i: Organization Studies. - : SAGE Publications. - 1741-3044 .- 0170-8406. ; 24:6, s. 961-988
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article investigates how managers position themselves and their work in terms of leadership in a large knowledge-intensive company. The significance of contemporary discourse on leadership, practical aspects of managerial work, and ambiguity as a central dimension of organization and leadership (particularly in knowledge-intensive settings) are highlighted. We examine the presumed leadership in a company with respect to the three 'moral' and 'aesthetic' positions or aspects of leadership: good, bad and ugly leadership. The article shows how managers incoherently move between different positions on leadership. The study undermines some of the dominant notions of leadership, for example, the leader as a consistent essence, a centred subject with a particular orientation to work. We suggest a less comfortable view of managers aspiring to adopt, but partly failing to secure leadership identities and a coherent view of their work. Value commitments appear as disintegrated and contradictory. The study indicates a need to radically rethink dominant ideas about leadership.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The consultancy industry — broadly defined — has boomed significantly over recent decades. A large and increasing proportion of the welleducated parts of the workforce are employed as management, IT and engineering consultants, communication advisors, etc. Large accounting firms employing hundred of thousands of employees also work with advice-giving on a consultancy (or consultancy-like) basis. So do law, advertising, architecture and many other kinds of firms. Consultancy work means coming from the outside, adding advice and/or expertise, helping client firms. In principle, the external professional is supposed to enter with objectivity, neutrality and supplementary or superior knowledge and increases the rationality and efficiency of client organisations. Client-orientation is an espoused dominating value and most consultants have a strong material incentive to satisfy their clients. Prompted by the prestige, high fees and attractiveness of consultancy jobs, talented and hard-working employees are often recruited and many consultancy firms make huge efforts in recruiting, retaining and developing talented people (and ‘letting go’ those viewed as less competent). All this could imply that relations between consultants and their clients are on the whole consensual and positive.

Management is the solution: Now what was the problem? On the fragile basis for managerialism
- 2011
-
Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Management. - : Elsevier BV. - 0956-5221. ; 27:4, s. 349-361
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper critically investigates the impact and meaning of managerialism in a pharmaceutical firm by exploring its shaky basis. Managers' explanations of the failure in research leading to new products showed considerable variety. This reflects the absence of any shared understanding of research inefficiencies and difficulties to determine the roots of the problems. Despite this people blame bad management and put hope to improved responsibility of managers. The study highlights the ambiguity of causes of the research inefficiencies and how this is suppressed as well as exploited by the introduction of a vague managerialist agenda. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Managers doing leadership: The extra-ordinarization of the mundane
- 2003
-
Ingår i: Human Relations. - : SAGE Publications. - 0018-7267 .- 1741-282X. ; 56:12, s. 1435-1459
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Based on a case study of managers in a large, international knowledge-intensive company this article suggests a rethinking of leadership, taking the mundane, almost trivial, aspects of what managers/leaders actually do seriously. In the study, the managers interviewed emphasized the importance of listening and informal chatting. Managers listening to subordinates are assumed to have various positive effects, e.g. people feel more respected, visible and less anonymous, and included in teamwork. Rather than certain acts being significant in themselves, it is their being done by managers that gives them a special, emotional value beyond their everyday significance. Leadership is conceptualized as the extra-ordinarization of the mundane.

När ledarskapet krackelerar
- 2015
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Att utöva ledarskap är ofta svårt. Inte sällan krackelerar eller kullkastas försök att leva upp till tjusiga ledarskapsideal. Boken skildrar ledarskapsförsök i praktiken och den bökiga verkligheten snarare än ledarskapsfantasier i en perfekt värld. Även om chefer gärna vill se sig som ledare med ambitioner att åstadkomma allt möjligt strategiskt och visionärt så är medarbetare inte alltid lyhörda och mottagliga. Krav på god administration dominerar chefsarbete. Genom att lägga fokus på ledarskap som en process med tänkbara krackeleringspunkter ger boken en mer realistisk bild av ledarskapsförsök. Detta stimulerar ett genomtänkt chefsarbete och ledarskapsförsök som inte bara slutar med magplask. Boken vänder sig till alla som vill förstå mera om ledarskapsprocesser i både teori och praktik. Den som tvivlar på allt för enkla ledarskapsrecept hittar bättre stöd och analysverktyg i sitt ledande i moderna organisationer. De som inte tvivlar finner kanske skäl att tänka om.

Reflexive Leadership : Organising in an imperfect world
- 2017
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Making a case for a reflexive approach to leadership, the authors draw upon decades of carrying out indepth studies of professionals trying to “do” leadership. Through interviews with managers and their subordinates, getting a good understanding of organizational context, and critically interpreting their observations considering both leadership theories and a wealth of other perspectives, their celebration of reflexivity is used to question dominant leadership thinking. Considering and challenging various departures from lines of reasoning results in a book that draws upon rich empirical material and which has a number of new, provocative, critical and constructive ideas that help to develop sharper and more thoughtful thinking and practice - both in academic and practical contexts.Suitable for leadership and organisation courses at upper-level undergraduate and upwards (including MBA-classes and Executive Education) and a thought provoking read for practitioners and management development professionals interested in leadership thought.

Reflexivt ledarskap
- 2017. - 1
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Ett reflexivt ledarskap handlar om att överväga vad vi menar med ledarskap, vad det kan göra och inte göra, när det kan fungera och när det inte är bästa alternativet. Författarnas ambition är att uppmuntra chefer och andra att tänka både bredare och djupare om hur man bäst samordnar arbete i moderna organisationer. I detta ingår att även lyfta fram och diskutera alternativen till ledarskap.Boken vänder sig till universitetsstudenter inom ämnen som företagsekonomi, organisationsteori och ledarskap, samt till deltagare i kvalificerade vidareutbildningar inom ledarskap. Fast mest vänder den sig till dig som är genuint intresserad av ledarskap och som gillar att få invanda föreställningar utmanade.Är ledarskap ett magiskt elixir mot alla möjliga organisationsproblem? Självklart inte, menar författarna och slår ett slag för ett mer reflexivt förhållningssätt till fenomenet ledarskap.

The great disappearing act: difficulties in doing "leadership"
- 2003
-
Ingår i: Leadership Quarterly. - 1048-9843. ; 14:3, s. 359-381
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We address ideas and talk about leadership in a research and development (R&D) company. The meaning that middle and senior managers ascribe to leadership is explored. We show how initial claims about leadership values and style tend to break down when managers are asked to expand on how they perceive their leadership and account for what they actually do in this respect. We raise strong doubts about leadership as a construct saying something valuable and valid about what managers do in this kind of setting. We also argue that thinking about leadership needs to take seriously the possibility of the nonexistence of leadership as a distinct phenomenon with great relevance for understanding organizations and relations in workplaces.

Paradoxes of authentic leadership: Leader identity struggles
- 2014

Ingår i: Leadership. - : SAGE Publications. - 1742-7169 .- 1742-7150. ; 10:4, s. 437-455
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Using in-depth interview material, this article explores the socially constructed and locally mediated nature of authentic leadership. The findings illustrate an irony of authentic leadership: while leaders claim that it is their true and natural selves that make them good leaders; simultaneously, they must restrain their claimed authenticity in order to be perceived as good leaders. This generates tensions that undermine the construction of a more stable and coherent leader identity. The study finds that in order to resolve these tensions, the managers develop metaphorical selves-Mother Teresa, messiah and coach-as a way of trying to accommodate conflicting identity claims while remaining true to the idea of themselves as authentic leaders exercising good leadership. These findings contribute to a constructed, situational and contested notion of leadership by showing how authenticity is an existential project of 'essentialising' fragmented and conflicting selves.

Chefsliv - det ska fan vara chef
- 2014
-
Bok (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Boken emanerar ur ett antal delstudier av chefsarbete, identitet och organisation som vi i organisationsgruppen vid Företagsekonomiska institutionen, Lunds universitet, har bedrivit under snart ett decennium. Huvudidén är att granska väsentliga delar av modernt arbets- och organisationsliv på nära håll. Detta har skett genom djupstudier av ett antal personer som arbetar som mellanchefer och/eller funktionsansvariga. Tanken är att förstå representativa förhållanden i fråga om upplevelser, arbetssituation och identitet i ett organisationssammanhang. Vi söker därigenom på ett levande sätt beskriva, tolka och teoretiskt belysa hur organisationer och yrkesgrupper fungerar. Vi belyser dilemman och problem bortom vad mer formella och officiella beskrivningar ger sken av. Organisationer är ofta svårhanterliga fögderier, och många yrkesgrupper och chefer lyckas inte riktigt få ihop ideal och positiva identiteter med tillvarons komplexitet och imperfektioner. Det moderna arbetslivet är på många sätt motsägelsefullt och komplicerat – till synes goda ideal och klara framgångsrecept kan lätt medföra låsningar och förvandlas till fällor för chefer.

Fantasies of leadership: Identity Work
- 2006

-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article explores middle managerial talk and practice connected to expectations of leadership in a planned corporate cultural change programme. Here we explore how a middle manager positions him or herself in relation to contemporary discourse on leadership. We discuss how managerial claims of leadership in practice seem inconsistent with the actual practice. Based on these findings we suggest that leadership ideas could be seen as a kind of fantasy related to identity work, rather than actual practice. We investigate this fantasy in terms of its various sources and relate the fantasy construction to management education and to the planned cultural change in particular.

Global leadership - sustaining classic managerialism
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Research Handbook of Global Leadership: Making a difference. - : Edward Elgar Publishing. - 9781782545354 - 9781782545347 ; , s. 39-53
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter critically discusses the currently celebrated and seemingly successful trend of global leadership. We claim that part of the answer to why global leadership has become so successful lies in how it is framed and presented as an all-embracing and intuitively good discourse closely aligned with the traditional leader-centred view on leadership in general. While this makes the discourse of global leadership appealing and seductive it also maintains what the chapter suggests to be classic managerialism – emphasis on the manager as the central hub of which everything else in organizations revolves - inherent in much general leadership research. The chapter aims at problematizing this orientation and demystifying global leadership by conceptualizing much of it as an ideological project. In contrast to this the chapter offer a more practice-oriented view on global leadership that includes a much stronger focus on relations, interactions and processes. The latter also suggesting that leadership is a socially constructive influencing process involving meaning, ideas, values and feelings.
