7 Practices of Network Leadership

Why Network Leadership?

This new approach to leadership understands the organization as a living network of individuals who are co-creating and collaborating with each other throughout an organization. Network Leadership is inspired by the science of networks. This field has transformed how we understand everything from social movements and supply chains to ecosystems and pandemics.

How is this living network of individuals in an organization activated by targeted initiatives?

Making informal collaboration and influence visible and actionable

Cultivating the conditions for emergence, connection, and rapid learning

Shifting mindsets from top-down control to system-wide awareness and shared ownership

Bringing leaders and teams closer to the people who they serve

Leading in a Networked World Organizations today are facing unprecedented levels of complexity, uncertainty, and interdependence. Traditional leadership models that are designed for hierarchies, predictability, and control are no longer suitable.

Network Leadership offers a strategic capability to unlock untapped potential, navigate complexity with confidence, and create real traction for sustainable change.

High-performing organizations are healthy, dynamic, and resilient networks

Information flows freely

Trust is distributed

Innovation emerges at the edges

Influence is shared

Network Leadership enables the wholeness of the organization becomes more adaptable, responsive, and aligned with its purpose.
