Abstract Text This thesis describes two ephemeral groups in the paradigm of relational leader- ship theory. It therefore uses DeRue and Ashord’s Leadership identity process (2010) to describe leadership as a permanent iterative process. This is radically different from many common leadership theories which still see leading as the act of an individual person. Compared to them relational theories have the advantage of being able to describe the observed, simultaneous, instantaneous and dynamic processes. The here presented descriptions shall help to gain a little more insight in the true patterns un- derlying this fascinating social interaction we call leadership.
