Preferred term

dispersed leadership  

Definition

  • Dispersed leadership is a collective form of organizational governance in which leadership tasks are widely distributed amongst the organizational members. Conceptual Overview “Dispersed leadership” sounds like an oxymoron: Leadership is about the concentration of power and responsibility in one leader, not its dispersal amongst many. [Source: International Encyclopedia of Organization Studies; Leadership, Dispersed]
