PublicationThe dynamics of reflexive network leadership( 2016-07-07)In this paper we seek to analyze the dynamics of leadership in inter-organizational networks, understanding network leadership as a reflexive praxis. Using comparative longitudinal data from two healthcare networks, we analyze how reflexive leadership is accomplished in networks. The analysis reveals that actors accomplish reflexive leadership by means of three related practices: establishing aligned spaces for reflection, cultivating generative dialogic scenarios and attending to power relations. Enacting these practices, leadership actors dynamically draw on and simultaneously re-produce or modify structural properties on the field, organization and network level. The study contributes to the literature by shedding light on how reflexive leadership is accomplished in networks, by enhancing our understanding of the possibilities and limitations of reflexive network development, and by providing insights into network leadership in a heterarchical context.Type: conference paper

PublicationNetwork Leadership and the Dynamic Effects of Dominant and Coequal Structuration Patterns( 2016-08-05)In this paper we seek to understand the dynamics of leadership in inter-organizational networks, understanding network leadership as reflexive structuration. Using comparative longitudinal data from two healthcare networks, we analyze (1) the practices underlying effective network leadership and (2) how the dynamic interplay of these practices shapes the evolution of network structures over time. The analysis shows that effective network leadership is dependent on a repertoire of practices for mobilizing distributed expertise, enabling a productive learning dialogue and creating reflection-friendly political structures. In addition, it reveals two structuration patterns, a dominant and a coequal pattern, with a different impact on the evolution of network structures. With this study, we enhance our understanding of the possibilities and limits of reflexive network development and add to a dynamic perspective on network leadership.Type: conference paper
