“…This role-based view for shared leadership allows identifying potential shared leaders in megaprojects. The leadership network of complex projects is intricate; experienced project practitioners experience transitions to develop their competencies and skills (Floris and Cuganesan, 2019). The role-based view of shared leadership provides a complementary perspective to address this complexity.…”

PurposeMegaprojects present an intricated pattern of leadership activities, which evolve over their planning and delivery and comprises several stakeholders. A framework is useful to navigate this complexity; it allows to identify and cluster the key elements. This paper aims to introduce a novel framework based on boundary spanners to describe the structural pattern of shared leadership in megaprojects.Design/methodology/approachA systematic literature review about boundary spanning and shared leadership is used to identify and cluster the key elements of shared leadership in megaprojects. The systematic literature review provides a rich theoretical background to develop the novel shared leadership framework based on boundary spanners.FindingsThere are three key dimensions characterizing shared leadership topology in megaprojects: stakeholders, boundary spanning leadership roles and project phases. The novel framework shows how project leadership dynamically transfers among different stakeholders, showing the importance of shared leadership as a leadership paradigm in megaprojects.Research limitations/implicationsThe novel framework epitomizes shared leadership in megaprojects by exploring its antecedents with social network metrics. This paper stresses that shared leadership is the envisaged form of leadership in megaprojects. By modeling complex project leadership in a simple, yet effective way, the framework fosters critical thinking for future research. The modeling introduced by this framework would also benefit practitioners in charge of megaprojects.Originality/valueThe paper moves the project leadership research to the network-level by taking boundary spanners as shared leadership roles in megaprojects. It shows how shared leadership is a valuable management tool for planning and delivery megaprojects.

“…Although the behaviors associated with judgment may appear to have a strong cognitive emphasis, failing to account for the role of the other systems in supporting judgment would be a mistake (Floris & Cuganesan, 2019). The ability to focus, concentrate, and remember is largely dependent on how much emotional stress (related to the physiological and affect systems) is being experienced (Scott et al, 2015).…”

“…Moreover, emotional stress impacts immediate and long-term cognitive function and is a contributor to many of the mental health problems in society today (Ellis & Thayer, 2010), which can translate into time lost at work (Scott et al, 2015). Thus, in order to function optimally and make sound executive decisions, the affective system needs to be exercised regularly (Floris & Cuganesan, 2019). Attending to negative stressors and being aware of how to effectively handle each stressor will help to develop one's character (e.g., Crossan et al, 2013aCrossan et al, , 2013b.…”

Leader character has emerged as a critical foundation for leadership. In spite of the view that leader character can be developed, there has been limited holistic attention to what it takes to develop character. Character requires conscious development, and that conscious development not only requires an understanding of what character is, but how the anatomy of character enables and inhibits character development and expression. By anatomy, we refer to the four underlying anatomical systems—physiology, affect, behavior, and cognition (PABC)—that function independently, and in an interrelated manner, to support the development of character. For illustration, we offer the practice of listening to music as a means to develop character, highlighting the links between the PABC systems and character development.

“…As competências do profissional que conduz o desenvolvimento do produto é um fator essencial para o sucesso (Chen, 2019). Aliado a isso, o aumento das capacidades de percepção cognitiva e emocional dos líderes tornou-se fundamental para compreender e ultrapassar as dificuldades que 4 enfrentadas pelo projeto, sendo consideradas mais importantes que o aprendizado técnico (Floris, 2019).…”
