“…As the above quotations indicate, the interdependence and reciprocal contributions to the leadership processes are associated with a sense of 'us' even to the extent that the participants become confused about their individual selves, thereby manifesting leadership as a group level phenomenon (Pearce & Conger, 2003;cf. Senge, 1990;Senge et al, 1994;Fletcher & Käufer, 2003). It seems that in this context the classical idea of differences (and the distinction) between 'leaders' and 'followers' becomes out-dated as the roles of participants constantly change.…”

While also opposing views have been presented, reaching decisions in co-operatives has primarily been considered to be a collective process. Despite this longstanding belief, there is lack of research on the collectivity of leadership processes actually ongoing in co-operative context(s). The paper at hand makes use of shared leadership construct showing that it helps us think of and articulate how leadership manifests in co-operative banks and their co-operative arrangements. The utility of this idea for future research and practice of co-operation is discussed.

“…Here, we introduce two groups of authors who offer this construction. Firstly, Fletcher and Kaufer [24] identify three shifts in thinking concerning how leadership is shared. The first sees leadership as a "distributed and interdependent" phenomenon, produced through coordinated an individual agency as outlined above.…”

“…It is the second shift that is most aligned with our understanding of leadership as a plural process. However, Fletcher and Kaufer [24] do little to elaborate on how such a conceptualization is realized.…”

“…Writing from the "team leadership" perspective, Day, Gronn and Salas [25] echo Fletcher and Kaufman's sentiments by suggesting that "leadership can be an outcome, rather than an input, to team processes" ( [24], p. 859). Standing in contrast to the first stream of writers who conceptualize shared leadership as coordinated individual agency, Day et al [25] go the furthest of any theorists we have found to suggest that rather than being produced by co-ordinated individual agency, shared leadership could come about by "all team members participating in the leadership process…[in this way] it is a shared, distributed process that creates a capability for versatility and adaptability" ( [25], p. 859).…”

This paper explores leadership as an emergent social process. We begin by discussing and contesting the tradition privileging linear management processes, and offer as a counterpoint accounts of distributed leadership out of which our focus on leadership as a plural process grows. Our concept of leadership as a plural process is enriched by an inquiry into musical ensembles with formal leaders as well as those which are leaderless that find ways of moving collectively towards shared goals. The specific issues that we explore are: personal preparation, expressing readiness to begin, establishing a way of operating, and dealing with unexpected problems as they arise. We conclude by speculating about how these elements could inform our understanding of how leadership arises from teams beyond the musical world.

We present a methodological approach, called Group Informatics, for understanding the social connections that are created between members of technologically mediated groups. Our methodological approach supports focused thinking about how online groups differ from each other, and diverge from their face-to-face counterparts. Group Informatics is grounded in 5 years of empirical studies of technologically mediated groups in online learning, software engineering, online political discourse, crisis informatics, and other domains. We describe the Group Informatics model and the related, 2-phase methodological approach in detail. Phase one of the methodological approach centers on a set of guiding research questions aimed at directing the application of Group Informatics to new corpora of integrated electronic trace data and qualitative research data. Phase 2 of the methodological approach is a systematic set of steps for transforming electronic trace data into weighted social networks.
