Abstract

This article studies the competencies and skillsthat are seen important for a network leader inorder to achieve trustworthy collaboration, using collaborative leadership theory as a theoretical base. We follow a framework by Agranoffand McGuire (2001), who grouped networkmanagement behaviors in collaboration intofour categories: activation, framing, mobilization, and synthesizing. The network leadershave distinctive roles in different phases of collaboration: a visionary motivator, a communitybuilder, a strategic stimulator, and a fair mediator. The qualitative data was collected througha survey of network leaders in Finnish socialand healthcare nonprofit organizations.
