Our paper investigates Leadership Metaphors in Germany and the Czech Republic as culturally endorsed verbal expressions of Implicit Leadership Theories (ILTs). We argue that, leadership metaphors carry implicit assumptions and suggestions about leadership and thus are expressions of ILTs. As a result, the use of specific leadership metaphors in the media reflects images of ILTs in a respective country. However, these images can also influence the utilization of leadership metaphors in the media them self. In our cross-cultural case study, we empirically investigate the use of leadership metaphors in different newspapers of both countries, since a deep understanding of managerial leadership processes in Central and East European Countries (CEE) is still an underrepresented aspect in the area of management and leadership research. Overall, we analysed 60 different newspaper articles in both countries and identified different types of leadership metaphors. We could not find some of these metaphor types in other existing typologies so far. We finally conclude our results with respect to ITLs, make suggestions for the further development of consisting leadership metaphor typologies and discuss directions for further research.
