◎ Displayed by a person’s position in a group or hierarchy
◎ Leadership evaluated by whether the leader solves problems
◎ Leaders provide solutions and answers
◎ Distinct difference between leaders and followers
◎ Communication is often formal◎ Can often rely on lack of
transparency and controlling others

A group of people working together toward a shared goal◎ Collective leadership is a process ◎ Dependent on the relationships among the parts in the
system◎ Shared responsibility and decision making,
accountability, and authentic engagement◎ All members are involved in creating the vision and are
committed to working to achieve that vision◎ Members of the group take a more participative role in
the decision-making process

◎ “Information isn’t in the hands of one person. It’s dispersed across many people. So relying on only your private information to make a decision guarantees that it will be less informed than it could be.”
◎ “Groups that are too much alike find it harder to keep learning, because each member is bringing less and less new information to the table. Homogeneous groups are great at doing what they do well, but they become progressively less able to investigate alternatives.”

“No individual is likely to make a very accurate guess. But time and time again, the average guess of the number of marbles turns out to be amazingly accurate. The group’s collective knowledge is superior to that of any of its members!”
