When Two (or More) Heads are Better Than One: The Promise and Pitfalls of Shared Leadership
指出企业领导常被描绘为单人行为,但共享领导更常见且更有效,并分析了成功实施共享领导所需的关键因素,如分担责任比分享关注更容易。
In both the business press and in academic journals, corporate leadership typically is portrayed as a solo activity, the responsibility of one person at the top of an organizational hierarchy. However, evidence shows that shared leadership is not only common in the corporate world, it is often more effective than the storied one-man shows. Ongoing research at the University of Southern California's Center for Effective Organizations pinpoints several factors needed to make joint leadership a success. Where two—or more—individuals share leadership, it turns out that making the arrangement work is more complicated than simply divvying up the tasks. For example, sharing the limelight seems harder than sharing responsibility.
