Synopsis:

How would your organisation perform if everyone accepted leadership responsibility? What if leadership were an expectation of everyone, not an exception for the anointed few? You'll be happy to know that you have all the leadership potential needed in your organisation right now to increase performance, productivity and profits and to sustain the increases. Unfortunately, the vast majority of your organisation's leadership potential is probably locked up behind the bars of bureaucracy or staggering under the weight of organisational inertia. The old leadership school taught that an organisation is made up of officers and enlistees, the more powerful and the less powerful, superiors and subordinates. A hierarchical organisational design draws leadership focus and energy away from problem solving and progressive thinking by encouraging those climbing the organisational food chain to focus instead on protecting their positions, perks and territory. Leadership is a circle, not a ladder.

Investing this traditional pyramid of institutionalised defensiveness and territoriality requires a premeditated, purposeful, intentional and methodical leadership system that aligns what people do best with what organisations need most. The ComposiTeam[trademark] Leadership System is designed to do exactly that and finishes what the movement for flattened organisations, shared responsibility and distributed leadership responsibility started. Unleashing Leadership sets the stage to focus everyone's unique talents and abilities on making your organisation thrive as never before. Not by luck, by chance, nor edict from on high, but from a well-designed and engineered leadership system that ties every-one in your organisation to the truth of the past, the irreplaceability of the moment and the promise of the future.
