What's inside?
Corporate activism, “engagement leadership” and sharing power can fuel co-creation in your workplace.
Recommendation
Author Céline Schillinger argues that traditional, top-down leadership now must evolve into a “collective capacity” that enables all workers to do their best and fosters cooperation and co-creation. This capacity, says Schillinger, is essential for tackling the immense challenges institutions from firms to nations face today, including global warming, threats to democracy and the fragmentation of the world. Leaders must share power, be open to changing their minds, and participate in conversational, open engagement with their employees. She acknowledges that achieving a more egalitarian workplace will require new behaviors, mindsets and skills from everyone, not only leaders.
