dc.description.abstractThis report aims to analyze leadership within the context of humanitarian logistics. The research question investigates the leadership style that is prevalent among practitioners, the challenges that come with the practice as well as potential solutions. A qualitative case study is conducted by the use of semi structured interviews. The data collected from the interviews were thereafter transcribed and thematically coded using the program Nvivo to gain an unbiased result. Secondary data from previous studies, literature and recognised leadership models are also utilized. The study identifies six major themes: Leadership challenges, Leadership qualities, Cultural diversity and communication, Team dynamics, Evaluation and improvement, and Mental health and wellbeing. The themes provide insight to the particular challenges that leaders within the humanitarian field are faced with. The results are analyzed in relation to each other and the theoretical framework, focusing on the most supported aspects. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of effective leadership in humanitarian logistics and offer valuable insights for practitioners and organizations in this field.
