Shared Leadership Study Findings • A single leadership role may be faster – The quality of the experience was lower • A shared leadership role – Increases the protective actions & behaviors after increased conflict – Shared leadership teams take more time • Players completed the game with fewer objectives/clues • Voice seems to be preferred over text – Faster for gameplay; smoother for communications
- 19. Implications for Online Education • While a team leader is more direct – May experience an increase in individual involvement through shared leadership • A shared leadership role – May result in better topic exploration – Centers on discussion and may leverage conflict • Team members shift between protective and directing roles • Further study is needed to analyze the behavior of these self-organizing leaders
