Abstract
This research is part of a comprehensive PhD research
project that focuses on the existence and development of
leadership in sport management practices. The underpinning
factors that are associated with successfully leading top
teams in sport are often used as an example in regard to
being successful in non sport business (Westerbeek & Smith,
2005). This paper aims to identify what are specific
qualities of leadership as exhibited by sport team captains
making use of leadership profiles derived from the
evolutionary theory by Van Vugt and Ahuja (2011). The
following research question was designed for this research:
What kind of leadership characteristics do sport team
captains show in the age group of fifteen years and older?
