Description of the leadership scenarios. In the first column, each bar represents the value of the influence leadership index (see “Methods”). The central column shows the mean phase leadership index for each player. The red bars identify the relationship between these two metrics typical of each pattern (Pattern 1- top row, Pattern 2- middle row, Pattern 3- bottom row). The third column displays an example for each leadership scenario from sports world. In particular, (c) reports an example of the first scenario, where the role of a coxswain is to steer the boat and coordinate the rhythm of the team members. (f) Depicts professional road cyclists racing at the Tour de France. It is a paradigmatic example of leadership assigned to the participant lagging behind all the others, since the team leader typically drafts the wheels of her/his teammates (domestiques) but is pivotal for determining the team strategy. (i) An example of shared leadership observed during team pursuit in track cycling, where the fastest player in front sets the pace, but also accounts for the position of the third lagging player, since the final time for the team is taken when the third team member crosses the finish line.
