Although wilderness trips are typically co-led, there is a deficit of research literature exploring the dynamics of co-leadership in the field. This study was conducted to determine the skills and traits outdoor adventure trip leaders perceived to be important for their co-leaders to possess on an extended outdoor trip. Utilizing Q-methodology, a 36-item instrument developed from the leadership literature was administered to 17 outdoor leaders. Three factors representing three distinct leadership beliefs were determined and are characterized by the titles: People-Empowering Leaders, Wilderness-Power Leaders, and Universal Leaders. Five trends in leader/co-leader preferences are discussed. This study offers implications to practice in outdoor recreation for organizations and outdoor trip leaders. |
