Abstract [en]
Aim of the study The overriding aim of this study is to gain access to recent, experience-based pictures of church leadership in times of organizational change in a Swedish Lutheran context. Additionally, we are interested in the thoughts and beliefs as regards improving organization and successful leadership in times of change. In this paper, we use the theories of post-heroic leadership and of leadership as the management of meaning. Our research questions focus on the experiences and the impact of leadership in times of organizational change as well as on suggestions for improvement.
