Fra helt til syndebukk: En studie av hvordan en landslagstrener i fotball kombinerer transformasjonsledelse og machiavellisk ledelse
I denne artikkelen av Trine Lise Andersen studeres lederstilen til landslagstrener i fotball i lys av toppfotballens rasjonalitet, der seier trumfer alt. Spørsmålet som drøftes er om treneren brukte både sin ofte kommuniserte transformasjonslederstil og en machiavellisk lederstil, og endret eventuelt balansen mellom disse lederstilene seg i forhold til lagets resultater. Antagelsen var at den machiavelliske lederstilen ville bli mer fremtredende når resultatene uteble.
