Curios Saturday – What is Leadership, a Hierarchy or a Network?
In this TED Talk, Gitte Frederiksen, a Partner at Boston Consulting Group, shares her view.
“A typical view of leadership is a hierarchical organization chart. To empower many more to lead, to move leadership from the few to the many, we each need to let go of a bit of power. In a network instead, everyone’s in charge and we replace power of the few with influence of the many. Sure it looks more messy, but I’d argue more beautiful, more multi-dimensional, more dynamic, more like nature.”
