Abstract

The most pressing challenges facing society are increasingly complex, requiring effective collaboration among multiple organizations. An important factor for success are the leadership strategies employed, which shape how well organizations work together to achieve common goals. Prior leadership research focused on the influence of a single organization or individual is giving way to emerging collective approaches where multiple individuals are engaged in the leadership process. The author proposes a mixed methods case study design to examine such processes among three teams of Extension, community stakeholder, and higher education organizations engaged in digital literacy programming initiatives. Proposed methods include a combination of network analysis, interviews, document analysis, and cognitive mapping techniques to examine what forms CL takes, and under what conditions technology enhances or hinders the collective leadership processes across three site locations.
