BEHAVIORAL

5R Shared Leadership Program

The manualised 5RS program aims to develop the leadership qualities of peer leaders by teaching them how to create, embody, advance, and embed a collective sense of 'us' in their teams. More specifically, 5RS consists of two key components that involve (1) implementing a structure of shared leadership, and (2) strengthening the identity leadership skills of the appointed peer leaders (Fransen et al., 2020).
