Abstract

This article explores the practice of shaping the project portfolio direction through the lens of leadership. Focusing on a public setting, it uncovers three interrelated activities: developing ownership, networking, and de-personalizing. These activities can be accomplished through continuous balancing of substantive–symbolic and visible–subtle acts, institutional structures and their improvisations, and hierarchical and distributed leadership. The article contributes to (1) the project portfolio management literature by offering the concept of hybrid leadership and insights into the alignment of diverse stakeholder interests and worldviews, and (2) to the leadership literature by critiquing the leadership-as-practice movement and advancing explanations of the interplay between hierarchical and distributed leadership.

领导力的平衡术：塑造项目组合方向的实践

这篇文章从领导力的角度探讨了塑造项目组合方向的实践。文章以公共环境为重点，揭示了三项相互关联的活动：发展所有权、建立网络和去个人化。这些活动可以通过不断平衡实质性-象征性行为和可见-微妙行为、制度结构及其即兴发挥、等级式领导和分布式领导来实现。文章提出了混合型领导力的概念，并对如何协调不同利益相关者的利益和世界观提出了见解，从而为项目组合管理文献做出了贡献；(2) 文章对领导力即实践运动提出了批评，并对层级式领导力和分布式领导力之间的相互作用做出了解释，从而为领导力文献做出了贡献。

期刊介绍： Project Management Journal (PMJ) is the academic and research journal of the Project Management Institute and features state-of-the-art research, techniques, theories, and applications in project management. Projects represent a growing population of human activity in large, small, private, and public organizations. Projects are used to execute and sustain today's organizational activities. They play a fundamental role as the engine of tomorrow's innovation, value creation, and strategic change. However, projects often fail to deliver their promise. PMJ addresses these multiple challenges and opportunities by encouraging the development and application of novel theories, concepts, frameworks, research methods, and designs. PMJ embraces contributions both from within and beyond project management to augment and transform theory and practice.
