{"product_id":"peertopeer-leadership-isbn-9781609947477","title":"Peer-to-Peer Leadership","description":"Our leadership models are stuck in an Industrial Age, top-down mentality. But in our complex, data-drenched, 24\/7 world, there is simply too much information coming from too many different directions too quickly for any one leader or group to stay on top of it. Hierarchy is breaking down everywhere—why should leadership be any different?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Inspired by the peer-to-peer model of computing used in social networking and crowdsource technologies, Mila Baker shows a new way to lead. Organizations, she says, must become networks of \"equipotent\" nodes of power—peer leaders. The job of the leader is now to set the overall goals and direction and optimize the health of that network, not tell it what to do. In these organizations, leadership roles shift rapidly to fit the needs of any given situation. Information flows freely so those who need it can find it easily and act on it immediately. Feedback becomes an organic part of the workflow, enabling rapid course corrections. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Baker shows how companies like Gore and Herman Miller have achieved long-term success practicing these principles and provides a structure that any organization can adapt to build flexibility, resiliency, and accountability.Preface   \u003cbr\u003e About This Book\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1--The Language of Leadership\u003cbr\u003e Leadership and the Tech Revolution\u003cbr\u003e Individuality and Equality\u003cbr\u003e What Is Peer-to-Peer Computing Technology and How Is It Related to Leadership?\u003cbr\u003e The Difference between a New Theory and a Paradigm Shift\u003cbr\u003e Summary\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2--Node Community\u003cbr\u003e What Is a Node Community?\u003cbr\u003e The Power of Node Communities: Instant Information Sharing\u003cbr\u003e Power to Create Change and the Dangers of Misinformation\u003cbr\u003e Disruption of Traditional Communication Models   \u003cbr\u003e On the P2P Path: Giant Hydra\u003cbr\u003e The Value of Node Communities in Organizations\u003cbr\u003e Efficient and Effective Flow of Information \u003cbr\u003e The Expertise of the Whole Community\u003cbr\u003e Nimbleness and Response to Change\u003cbr\u003e Real-Time Feedback and Dialogue\u003cbr\u003e Summary\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3--Organizational Equipotency\u003cbr\u003e The Power of Equipotency in Organizations\u003cbr\u003e All Nodes Are Created Equal: Everyone Leads and Everyone Follows\u003cbr\u003e Driven by Communication (Nodes)\u003cbr\u003e The Value of Equipotency in Organizations\u003cbr\u003e Serving as an Enabler Driving Commitment Engendering Positive Intent\u003cbr\u003e Motivating Everyone to Give Their Best\u003cbr\u003e Implications for Organization Design\u003cbr\u003e On the P2P Path: BMW Designworks\u003cbr\u003e Implications for a New Leadership Paradigm\u003cbr\u003e Summary\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4--Relational Dynamics\u003cbr\u003e On the P2P Path: Google\u003cbr\u003e Relational Dynamics\u003cbr\u003e On the P2P Path: Stiletto Network\u003cbr\u003e The Value of Relational Dynamics\u003cbr\u003e People, Information, and Connections\u003cbr\u003e Organizational Anarchy\u003cbr\u003e Shared Decision Making and Governance\u003cbr\u003e Implications for a New Leadership Paradigm\u003cbr\u003e Summary\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5--From Survival of the Fittest to Survival of the Connected\u003cbr\u003e Darwin Misinterpreted\u003cbr\u003e Adaptation and Mitigation\u003cbr\u003e Protective Processes\u003cbr\u003e Solving Problem Solving\u003cbr\u003e Summary\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6--The Flow of Information\u003cbr\u003e Traditional Barriers to Communication\u003cbr\u003e Day-to-Day Sharing: Network as Communication Infrastructure\u003cbr\u003e Benefits of the Open Transfer of Information\u003cbr\u003e Summary\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 7--Nimbleness and Change\u003cbr\u003e P2P and Drivers for Change\u003cbr\u003e The Space and Time for Change\u003cbr\u003e The Evolutionary Model\u003cbr\u003e The Dialectical Model\u003cbr\u003e The Teleological Model\u003cbr\u003e The Life Cycle and Cultural Models\u003cbr\u003e A Case for P2P Architecture: Herman Miller\u003cbr\u003e Summary\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 8--Real-Time Feedback and Dialogue\u003cbr\u003e Starbucks: Two Observations, Two Outcomes\u003cbr\u003e On the P2P Path: NYU—A Global Network University\u003cbr\u003e A Better Way\u003cbr\u003e Summary\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 9--Implications for Organization Design\u003cbr\u003e Why is P2P Architecture Important?\u003cbr\u003e The Work Experience\u003cbr\u003e On the P2P Path: Hot Spots Movement\u003cbr\u003e The Work Environment   \u003cbr\u003e Summary\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 10--Implications for Leadership   \u003cbr\u003e Organization Formation\u003cbr\u003e On the P2P Path: ROWE\u003cbr\u003e Human Resources and Organization Development\u003cbr\u003e Questioning Traditional Leadership\u003cbr\u003e Leadership as a Dyad Exchange Structure\u003cbr\u003e Summary\u003cbr\u003e Moving Forward   \u003cbr\u003e On the P2P Path: Paul Polman at Unilever\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003cbr\u003e About the AuthorMila Baker is director of leadership and human capital management programs and academic chair of the MS in human resource management and organization development program at New York University’s School for Continuing and Professional Studies.
