By Brent Lowe and originally published at leadtogether.co Power is woven through all our relationships, shaping our interactions and permeating our organizations. Rarely, however, do we acknowledge it. It’s easy to have good intentions and still build an organization full of powerless people. Power is an emotive issue in organizations. Individuals who feel disempowered experience frustration and resentment, while those with power often struggle to manage their positional authority. Today, the structures that have traditionally shaped power dynamics in organizations are being challenged by new models of leadership. But what are these emerging forms of leadership? And how do they

Catherine Jaeger interviews John Thompson in this podcast. Originally published on Inspired Teams John Thompson of The PCO Group returns with his passion for unleashing intrinsic motivation, which has a critical role in the human state, and therefore plays out into a team and more broadly into an organization. When tapping into intrinsic motivation, there is “no difference between being a leader and being human” since every human has leadership within them. This principle is the foundation of John’s proposal of breaking apart the 3 roles of a traditional manager – subject matter expert, developing humans, and team organization. We

Brent Lowe, Susan Basterfield and Travis Marsh co-authors of Lead Together book, discuss recruiting and self-managing organisations. Originally available on YouTube. One way or another we all learn how important a good recruiting process can be. All it takes is one bad hire… or two… or three before we realize the cost of under-investing in recruiting. The most successful teams make recruiting a top priority. For teams embracing a philosophy of leading together—such as self-management or decentralized leadership—recruiting takes on even greater importance.
