| This paper is to discuss the perspectives of multi-paradigm, to review the leadership theories, and to explore the implication of multi-paradigm for sport leadership research and practice. There are several conclusions and recommendations as follows: Firstly, using multi-paradiigm (i.g. positivism paradigam, interpretive paradigm, and critical-action paradigm), theoretical pluralism, qualitative techniques and quantitative techniques research the field of sport leadership. Especially future studies can explore the topics of feminine leadership styles, multiculturalism leadership, and the local field sport leadership. Secondly, leaders of twenty-first century should act as multiple role-set such as transactional and transformational leaders, leaders of doing the right thing and managers of doing the thing right, cultural inventors, protectors, and reformers. Finally, the future leaders have to adopt multiple and contingent leadership (i.g. transactional and transformational leadership, leadership and managerial behavior, democratic, autocratic, delegating and empowering leadership) to sdjust the multicultural society and to develop the sport organizational culture. |
