This quick half-day introduction to the topic of collegial or distributed/shared leadership was attended by a small group of managing directors. First, we talked about a change in attitude that both managers and employees must display in order to make self-organization successful. Furthermore, I introduced tools and methods such as the delegation board, team decision procedures, and communication in companies based on collegial leadership. The most important aspect of the webinar certainly was that the participants were given time at the end of our joint session to reflect whether the presented approach would be a solution to the challenges their respective companies face.
During the webinar, the participants realized that a switch to distributed/shared leadership and self-organization can only be done gradually and with due care.
