I need to watch more videos from HarvardBusiness, they're great.

[agapitoflores001]

This is nice of HarvardBusiness. You get to learn a lot from their videos.

I have found that the most effective form is leadership is the one in which the strengths of the team are considered. In doing so, you are generally able to minimize a member's weakness which in turn allows you to help them develop that part of themselves without self-conscientiousness. I feel this application is inline with Professor's Hill "drawing on slices of genius" or Mandala's leading from behind style. Neither being new concepts just ones rarely found in US business.

thumbs up if Ashford University brought you here!

[jharrod123]

@moremoreenough you're an idiot.

[avumex]

I read the article, it seems to me that the author is surprised to find leaders outside the USA! however there have been leaders even before the USA was constituted.

leading from behind is a wonderful idea but is impossible to utilize in many situations. In order for leading from behind to be successful you must have the people in the team or group or organization to have the ability and capacity to lead. Many organizations and businesses function with a work force that is incapable of being leaders or has no desire to lead. This is more theory and rhetoric that has little practical use in 90% of the business world.

why interviewer talk so much than the guest?

[pgshock]

Im currently working on some ideas of a new business structure. It somewhat acts like an MLM but w/o the top heavy negativity of it. Basically it functions as many businesses that are nurtured by the 'main' brain. With Gen Y being so entrepreneurial I think its a good way to maximize the use of this 'slice of genius'

[charlottebritton]

How amazing. Leading from behind is a leadership style I've focused on or a while. Driving your team forward rather then pulling them.

[Athenaikos]

Leading from behind...now that's something new.

[MFPufundt]

Paul Hemp, the interviewer, should sharpen his questions, let the guest speak more and stop rambling

[helloomer]

I am dying to get into HBS and be a part of such a wonderful league!

[Sagetraining]

I believe the concept of creating an environment where people who understand and subscribe to the objective of the organisation are free to utilise their capabilities relative to their roles is always a sustainable proposition. There must be cognisance though that leading from the front is necessary before leading from behind can be a reality. There will also be times when it is necessary after the process is set in motion when the leader has to come to the fore.

[mbai]

This sounds similar to "service leadership" -- where the arrow is pointed outward, never focused on oneself

[Africantigers]

If you read a book called blue ocean strategy,as I have read-these ideas are there

WHAT is said here is not different from what is written out there-its just repackaged

interesting though

[adsflavio]

but the repackage's not bad at all. on the contrary: it's a signal that these ideas are solid and recognized by prestigious sectors of intellectual thought as HBS

[KMMMM75]

Really interesting idea of leadership from behind. Very democratic. I think less reliant on short term charismatic wins but more on long term sustainable competitive edge. I think it will also demand leaders to be more competitive. Thanks for sharing the idea!
