This blog post examines distributed leadership–the practice of sharing leadership among many players–and how it plays out in the context of transforming regional health ecosystems.
Distributed leadership can be thought of as both a governance structure, which specifies leadership accountabilities for different groups and the relationships between them, and as a practice, a way that individual leaders can think and act. It shifts focus onto relationships among many parties, with each party taking some responsibility for leading on behalf of the whole and building alignment through relationships and mutual commitments.
