Ledarskap inom tredje sektorn : En kvalitativ fallstudie om vad som karaktäriserar ledarskap inom ideella organisationer

Research about leadership is often common within the private- and the public sector, which has presented a large range of different leadership theories, concepts, styles and distinguished characteristics. We consider that far too little attention has been given to leadership within the third sector, which is why we consider that our study stands out, as well as making it interesting and relevant in today’s society. In our case study, we have examined what distinguishes leadership in the third sector. To answer this, we have conducted six semi-structured interviews with six different leaders within the Red Cross in Sweden. Our case study is based on a deductive approach through a qualitative method, the empirical material has been gathered and analysed through the use of five different leadership theories. Based on our result, we are able to ascertain that leadership within the third sector is characterised by the leader´s will and ability to serve its fellowship. Furthermore, we also came to the conclusion that leaders within the third sector are strongly influenced by organisational values, and that these values are considered a central part of the third sector.
