Self-Managed Team Leadership
Stumble It!Ron Armstrong writes a good introduction on Self-Managed Team Leadership in LeaderValues which is a rich on-line source of thinking and best practice on all aspects of leadership.
“Self-managed teams are active in some companies managing responsibilities associated with their everyday work. Without defining their style, many successful leaders of these teams are using self-managed team leadership principles and processes to improve the performance and to achieve the desired results.”
Self-Managed Leadership and Self-Managed Team Membership are key cornerstones of bioteaming - becoming more productive by basing organisational teams on nature's best cooperation practices.
