4.2.6 Leadership

The co-production literature is extremely quiet on the issue of leadership, neglecting the role of both public and community leaders in co-production (McLennan 2018). Leadership in co-production is defined as ‘the ability to align different values and interests and to find a common ground’ (Ngo et al. 2019) and is concerned with making professionals aware that their efforts are part of a collective task (Torfing et al. 2019).

Different types of leadership have been identified (Bussu and Galanti 2018), highlighting their effect on co-production outcomes such as the width and depth of participation, equity improvement, availability of financial resources, communication, and participation cost reduction (McLennan 2018; Ngo et al. 2019; Vanleene et al. 2017). Capable community leadership can protect community initiatives against the risk that government involvement will ‘kill or mutate’ them (Brandsen and Honingh 2016; McLennan 2018).
