Abstract: Abstract Shared Leadership represents one of the most modern leadership principles. Following the ‘Primus inter Pares’ principle, which is close to the leadership culture of Scandinavian countries, there is an agile and democratic approach, which is supported by high professionalism and diversification of the team. In the Shared Leadership approach, the responsibility and task distribution is not combined in one person, but is rather carried by the entire team. This leads to higher flexibility and a greater sense of responsibility: In addition to better project implementation, it leads to performance improvement and better identification, thus contributing to internal employer branding. Only in defined situations does the leader assume overall responsibility in the team. Shared Leadership finds little success in strongly hierarchical cultures.
