Individuals and groups can each take up their leadership authority.
High performing groups have leaders who nurture talent, who facilitate questioning and innovation, and who model flexibility and adaptability. And leadership is freely and fluidly shared around depending upon the task, rather than a trophy associated with rank.
Effective leaders are practised at influencing with integrity, pay attention to the interconnectedness of their workgroup and the larger work system, can step out of the detail and look at the behavioural patterns around them as well as look at their own behaviour, and are attuned to group dynamics.
Adaptability, flexibility and responsiveness are their hallmarks. Innovation and productivity amongst those around them are the results. Above all, effective leaders are authentic and emotionally present to those they lead.
