Att verka med ett militärt förband i subarktisk miljö är krävande då det alltid finns en naturlig fiende närvarande ? den ständiga kylan. Det finns mycket skrivet om ledarskap, subarktisk miljö och Finska vinterkriget men jag har inte funnit något om ledarskapets betydelse i subarktisk miljö. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om utvecklande ledarskap är en applicerbar ledarstil i subarktisk miljö. Denna uppsats bygger på kvalitativ text analys med en analys av subarktisk miljö, utvecklande ledarskap samt om Finska vinterkriget 1939-1940.
