BOOK: THE LEADERSHIP MODEL
The book “Leadership Model” is about models and theories of leadership based on research from the Swedish Defence University. It provides a focused and summarized description of various tools, models, and training used in leadership and is very useful for learning about leadership from a research-based perspective.
The Leadership Model also forms the theoretical basis for the very popular research-based leadership course Developmental Leadership (UL) that we offer through We Are Movement.

“The central hypothesis of the Leadership Model is that leadership is shaped through an interplay between the characteristics of the leader and the external social and cultural context. The Model consists of three main components: leader characteristics, contextual characteristics and leadership styles. The complex interplay between these components is described in detail and illustrated using a large number of examples. The Model also serves as the basis for three of the most widespread leadership programs in Sweden based on academic research: Developmental Leadership (UL), Understanding Group and Leader (UGL) and Indirect Leadership (IL).”
