Nowadays the necessity of strategic leadership and shared leadership skills and competencies in order to performance improvement and organizational success has been proved. Furthermore, in recent years a new style of leadership as strategic shared leadership which pertains to top managers’ shared leadership in the strategic level of the organization has been proposed. The main purpose of this research is to develop strategic shared leadership model for top managers in manufacturing knowledge-based companies through qualitative research method based on grounded theory. Accordingly, 15 top managers with scientific background and managerial experiences related to this style of leadership in manufacturing knowledge-based companies were selected as the contributors. Furthermore, data collection was obtained through semi-structured interview with purposive sampling. Also, data analysis was performed through three stages including open coding, axial coding and selective coding based on Strauss and Corbin systematic approach. The analysis of results reveals that in the strategic shared leadership model for top managers in manufacturing knowledge-based companies, causal conditions include: leaders’ traits and team characteristics; contextual conditions include: underlying factors and environmental factors; phenomenon includes: strategic shared leadership; intervening conditions include: behavioral integrity, supportive atmosphere, collective decision making, organizational learning, competency-based approach and talent-based approach; strategies include: leaders participation development and leaders empowerment; consequences include: attitudinal achievements and performance achievements
