Start SectionValue shared leadership
Unlike traditional notions of leadership that focus on the actions of an individual, shared leadership refers to responsibilities shared by members of a group. Marshall Goldsmith, a leading executive educator and coach, describes it this way: “Shared leadership involves maximizing all of the human resources in an organization by empowering individuals and giving them an opportunity to take leadership positions in their areas of expertise.”
Utilize the Collaborative Leadership Self-Assessment Questionnaires from Turning Point (see page 7). Use this self-assessment tool to determine whether or not shared leadership is the right option for your workplace environment.
