Distributed Leadership
Leadership concepts (social science literature*):
Current research suggests that our admired leaders today are honest, gg yinspiring, self-confident, and adaptive—but traits do not always predict leadership effectiveness.
Repeatedly the lack of leadership appears to be a cause of failedRepeatedly, the lack of leadership appears to be a cause of failed policy and implementation.
Our culture has been glorifying the charismatic while preachingOur culture has been glorifying the charismatic while preaching participation (sometimes ingeniously).

The distributed-leadership concept:
Distributed Leadership
LEADERSHIP IS DISTRIBUTED. * That is, leadership is not solely the purview of the CEO, but can and should permeate all levels of the firm.
LEADERSHIP IS PERSONAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL. There is no singleway to lead. The best way to create change is to work with the particular capabilities that you have, while constantly working to improve and expand those capabilities.
LEADERSHIP IS A PROCESS TO CREATE CHANGE. Leadership is aboutmaking things happen contingent on a context Leaders may create changemaking things happen, contingent on a context. Leaders may create change by playing a central role in the actual change process, or by creating an environment in which others are empowered to act.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPS OVER TIME. It is through practice, reflection, following role models, feedback, and theory that we learn leadership.

Distributed Leadership, Adaptive Management, and Effective Communication:A new science delivery and adoption paradigm that we can build together
Effective Communication
The type of communication—equal status among science multiagency,
A meaningful discussion in the field:
F d ti i t t t d i i k fi ld
and field leaders as part of an integrated approach
Focused on questions important to decisionmakers, field practitioners, and researchers;By bringing the right people together; andBy not spreading efforts too thinly.
