| Abstract Text | An important challenge of new CEOs is to establish an effective group of immediate collaborators, which we call the “strategic leadership constellation.” Drawing on a comparative case study we show that due to constraints on the CEO to change the top management team (TMT) the composition of the strategic leadership constellation initially tends to differ from that of the TMT. In some cases, the strategic leadership constellation merely consists of a subgroup of the TMT members; in others it includes also individuals outside the TMT such as staff members or lower-level managers. We show that the discrepancies between the strategic leadership constellation and the TMT lead to tensions triggering a process of convergence between the two, particularly as constraints on changing the TMT are alleviated. |
