520 Co-active Leadership reduces the distinction between
leaders and followers and expands the meaning of
leadership, creating an atmosphere where everyone can
develop and exercise a range of leadership skills. Top
down, one-dimensional leadership models are hopelessly
outmoded in today's rapidly-changing world. And they waste
te leadership ability that is present throughout an
organization, not just at the top. In this visionary book,
Karen and Henry Kimsey-House provide a model that
harnesses the possibility of many rather than relying on
the power of one. They begin with a new definition of
leadership itself: "Leaders are those who are responsible
for their world." Which, of course, we all are, or should
be so everyone is a leader. Co-active Leadership is a
deeply colloaborative approach but the first of its five
dimensions focuses on the individual: leading from within.
We must be fully present and live lives of integrity,
openheartedness, and self-awareness if we are to make the
kind of conscious, creative choices Co-Active Leadership
demands. Each of the remaining four dimensions work
together holistically. Depending on the situation, you may
lead from the front, offering guidance and inspiration;
from behind, supporting and encouraging others; from
beside, partnering with and supporting other members of
you team; or from the field, drawing on insights and
wisdom available beyond the rational mind. Co-active
Leadership is the only model to celebrate and honor these
different expressions of leadership. It invites all of us
to share our expertise and allows collaborative solutions
to imerge that would never have been possible otherwise.
