 Conger and Pearce (2003): “A dynamic, interactive
influence process among individuals in groups for
which the objective is to lead one another to the
achievement of group or organizational goals or both”
 “A team property whereby leadership is distributed
among team members rather than focused on a single
designated leader” (p. 1217). Carson et al. (2007)
 process or phenomenon involving teams or groups that
mutually influence one another and collectively share
duties and responsibilities otherwise relegated to a
single, central leader

5. Cont…
 Distributed leadership is not something „done‟ by
an individual „to‟ others, or a set of individual
actions through which people contribute to a group
or organization . . . [it] is a group activity that works
through and within relationships, rather than individual
action. (Bennett et al. 2003, p. 3)
