Great leadership is a network, not a hierarchy | Gitte Frederiksen | TED Talk

In her TED Talk “Great leadership is a network, not a hierarchy,” physicist and management consultant Gitte Frederiksen says that leadership should not be restricted to a few people at the top of an organizational pyramid, but rather shared among many. Through engaging illustrations and anecdotes, Frederiksen gives us the recipe for distributed leadership—dynamic, multidimensional networks of leaders that tap into everyone’s knowledge and creativity—and shows how this teamwork drives innovation and productivity. This future-friendly network model also encourages talent development by giving people the freedom and autonomy to do their best.
