Comment: No single leader can master the full scope of today’s challenges. That’s why Conversational Leadership matters—it fosters environments where ideas flow, and leadership is distributed across the group.In an increasingly complex world, appointed leaders simply don’t know enough to decide what is new and better.
Leadership is a group sport, not an individual heroic activity.
