Overall, the research project aimed at studying the conditions and the impacts of shared leadership and decision-making, especially when: •Decision-making competences, knowledge and means are spread over a temporary or a newly formed organization; •Mutual knowledge between members is potentially absent; •Leadership participants use diversified means of communication (e-mails, text messages, mobile phone, radio,…); •People’s safety is involved; •Emergency and stakes are seen as stress factors; •Risk exposure for the members is mixed; some being directly exposed, others being safe. The objective was to provide a better understanding of leadership and decision-making mechanisms, potentially able to improve the members’ security-performance relation who are risk exposed. The research field is high mountaineering expeditions supported by meteorological assistance.
