distributed leadership

distributed leadership

The idea, first, that the capacity for leadership is not limited to people selected for and assigned to senior positions of responsibility and organizational authority but, in varying degrees, is broadly distributed throughout the organizational population, and, second, that the function of leadership should be shared. Bringing out this potential requires a combination of broadly based leader-skill development, opportunities for junior leaders to lead and emergent leaders to step forward, professional cohesion across the leadership team, and a culture that supports and rewards initiative and sensible risk-taking.
