Analysis of Collaborative Leadership Style in Carrying Out the Main Task of Searh and Rescue Office

Abstract

This study aims to analyze collaborative leadership in the implementation of the core tasks of the Search and Rescue Office (SAR). Collaborative leadership was chosen as the primary focus due to its involvement of multiple parties in carrying out a complex mission that requires effective coordination between related agencies. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method to explore the factors influencing the effectiveness of leadership in SAR operations. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 18 informants, consisting of leaders and team members of SAR, observations, and relevant documentation related to the core tasks. The findings of the study indicate that collaborative leadership, based on open communication, trust among team members, and synergy between agencies, plays a vital role in improving response time and the success of SAR operations. The research also identifies challenges in building effective coordination, such as limited resources and differences in perceptions among various parties. These findings are expected to contribute to the development of more effective leadership strategies in organizations engaged in search and rescue operations.
