A
form of leadership is to allow people to carry out tasks without a formal
leader. Team or project work is one example. In this case, group members take
turns to lead the group on an informal basis (= swarm intelligence). Anyone who
possesses the necessary key skills to advance the project is able to act as a
leader. A person’s leadership credentials are legitimized by their competence
and local interaction skills rather than by the definitions of a static
hierarchy. However, the following prerequisites apply:
- Companies must allow open, honest communication (= open source / multi-source interaction)
- The objectives of the team / the service providers must be defined and must be accepted by all members (commitment)
- Competence profiles which highlight employees as experts / leaders must be drawn up (potential overview)
- Management tools
(e.g. effective project monitoring, traffic-light system and balance
scorecard) must be available in order to allow checks to determine
whether objectives have been met.
