This study examines the changes and presents the construction of the leadership discourse in Swedish Armed Forces Military Strategic doctrine from 2016 and 2022. Both debate articles and scientific articles have been published concerning the leadership in Swedish military. The opionions vary from positive to negative arguments. Due to this and the amount of changes that the Swedish Armed Forces are undergoing the study aim to contribute to a more profound understanding of military leadership thoughout a discourse analysis. The study shows that there has been changes between the different editions. The later has substantially fewer mentions of leadership. It is also found that the later one does not mention anything about genderperspective or ethical considirations. The analysis also presents a comparison to the original leadership model, called developmental leadership, that the Swedish Armed Forces have used to construct their own model. This results in that the discourse concerning Swedish military leadership is leaning towards a more task oriented leadership that dismiss emotional support.
