The purpose of this study was to create an understanding of how group leaders manage their worktime and what conditions the group leader needs to conduct their work assignments. The research design was a single case study that was performed on a larger corporation´s central warehouse. The data collection consisted of semi structured interviews with six group leaders. Furthermore, an inventory of the worktime was made in which the group leaders themselves estimated their worktime during a month of work. The results showed that the group leaders experienced a lack of time but that the conditions were good for leadership. Progress was promoted and the space of action was big. The time inventory showed that the group leaders’ average work were made of 52 hours. The study discusses the job description, which was too wide and should be focused more towards the group. The conclusion was that the group leaders worked reactively, more assignments should be focused towards the group. The job description needed to be better defined and the groups were too big and there were time constraints which affected the work.
