The
Power of Leadership Teams in a
Changing World
A company’s performance is ultimately
a reflection of its top executives. Research
shows that when the top leadership team
functions well, the organization functions
well. When the leadership team comes apart,
the organization falters.
Leadership
is more dynamic and participative in teams
than in traditional hierarchical structures.
In a fast-paced, changing environment, no
single CEO can know enough to make all the
right decisions. By capitalizing on the
unique strengths of each individual member,
leadership teams solve problems and make
better decisions than a single leader can.
The key is to be able to distinguish when
the members of the team should be “in”
and “out” of team mode. As a result,
many organizations are changing the way
they are structured to accommodate a leadership
team approach to corporate governance.

that are needed to address changing environments
