Between people
The leadership paradigm, a generally accepted doctrinal structure and way of thinking, is in change. The transition is towards collective leadership.
Collective leadership is based on utilising the skills and characteristics of people working in groups and networks. The aims, which have been or will be created together, are the guidelines for collective action. Through collective leadership, it is possible to create successful projects, directions, and organising.
This leadership competency and its collective nature applies to both designated leaders and to experts, who lead the networks, groups, and projects within their responsibilities. By co-leadership and related management, leading the work becomes more dynamic and closer to all actions conducted in the organisation. Organisations can benefit from leadership competencies at different levels of organisations. By enabling the utilisation of knowledge and expertise, the organisation gains access to the knowledge, ideas, and change-orientation of networks, groups, and individuals. Collective leadership is comprehensive, goal-oriented interaction, and it is important to understand the impact and aspects of this interaction from power to trust and results.
