Leader to follower transitions require flexibility and situational awareness to enhance informal leadership and cultural cohesion (Falls & Allen, 2020). Excessively rigid organisational processes, though standardising, may suppress adaptability (Garvin, 1998). Additionally, Falls & Allen (2020) stress cultural sensitivity in transitions, which aligns with Garvin’s (1998) emphasis on adaptable organisational …

The interplay of collective and individual leadership, highlights how narratives of inclusivity can obscure accountability (Empson et al., 2023). Evolutionary leadership models favour hierarchy, complicating the implementation of collective frameworks (Garfield et al., 2019), especially in high power distance and individual cultures (Hofstede, 1991). Additionally, processes supporting informal leadership risk failure …
