The Swedish armed forces has for many years educated squad Leaders by letting them start their training two and a half months before the soldiers start their training. 2007, this system was used for the last time.

I talked with my colleges at the company and they had felt the same. This essay will try to analyse if the squad Leaders has lost any of there ability and if so, what could be the cause? To analyze the ability of the squad leader in this essay it will first analyze their ability through the Direct Leadership theory, which is the theory that is presently used in the Swedish armed forces.

The Swedish nonprofit sector is experiencing a sectoral change, moving closer to the corporate sector to become more commercialized. The recruitment of Leaders with corporate experience constitutes one of the factors influencing this development. Hence, to create an understanding of this sectoral change, the thesis aims to investigate the motivational forces underlying the Leaders' decisions to work within the nonprofit sector. Additionally, the thesis seeks an understanding of why the Leaders' decisions were made later in their careers. Through conducting qualitative interviews with Leaders representing top management of six humanitarian organizations in Sweden, the study finds that nonprofit Leaders with corporate background, analogous to volunteers and employees, are motivated by a sense of relatedness to the vision of the organization.
