Mode One: Technical Leadership

Chapter 4 in The Ambiguity Advantage, 2006, pp 71-85 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The largest discrepancy between leadership talk and actual practice was found in what is labeled mode one technical leadership scenarios. Their view of leadership is that they are in charge, they have the knowledge and ability to use it and their subordinates (their language) do not. As a specific strategy, most mode one leaders said they actively kept information to themselves and away from other people in their domain, in the belief that only they have the overview necessary to make the decisions.
