Abstract

The present study explores the impact of shared leadership on the performance of start-ups by analyzing twelve European start-ups that employ shared leadership as their managing team structure. The results indicate that dividing responsibilities and decisions among team members, instead of having a unique individual in charge and hierarchal employee positions, has proven to encourage each member exceptional skills that, when combined in teamwork, create a positive environment that is in line with the success of start-ups' performance.
