Abstract

Purpose - Leaderships of the Indonesian football in the last 10 years have struggled with dynamic challenges from internal and external groups. We presume that an effective leadership is needed to provide stability. This qualitative study, using sport governance perspective, is aimed at answering question of what kind of leadership that is needed by an organisation that shares similarities with football associations. We also tried to discover what makes a good sport leader and why such leadership is important. Design/methodology/approach - A focus group comprising sport scholars was conducted to get initial sport leadership attributes. These attributes were then assessed in a qualitative survey by 23 experts in sport management and governance across the world. The survey also explored other additional traits and importance of leadership in sport organisations. Findings – This study finds eight leadership traits that are recommended to be possessed by top leaders in sport organisations, in order to bring effective organisational performance. Experts in this study also confirm that good leadership is very critical to sport organisations. Originality/value - This study adds to existing knowledge of sport governance on board roles, board performance and sport leadership. In addition, this research also fills the gap of Indonesian sport governance context which has been rarely studied. Findings of this study can also be adopted by sport organisations who may have been struggling to identify their best-suited leaders.
