– Great Leadership Is a Network, Not a Hierarchy
In her Ted Talk ‘Great Leadership Is a Network, Not a Hierarchy’ Gitte Frederiksen dives into distributed leadership.
Distributed leadership is a movement that goes beyond the traditional model of having one leader who sits on top of the hierarchy.
In a hierarchy where taking the lead, having ownership, and making decisions are left to only one or a few people, there is more room for human error.
In a network, the power of the few is replaced by the influence of the many. This is a much more productive use of resources and improves motivation and engagement.
“We need to create leaders, not followers.”
Stop and Think
“Your authenticity is your distinct competitive advantage, and it is at the heart of powerful, impactful leadership”
Carla Harris
