The 6 Box Leadership Model: An Organizational Body Scan

Chapter Chapter 5 in The Management Shift, 2014, pp 116-134 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Many leading management thinkers, such as Peter Drucker1 Charles Handy2 Henry Mintzberg3 and Gary Hamel,4 have recognized the need for The Management Shift, to move away from mechanistic models of management towards distributed leadership and decision-making, a collaborative culture and more social orientation of businesses. A recent synthesis of a large body of the literature on leading knowledge workers5 reveals that in order to foster innovation in knowledge-based organizations, a different leadership style is needed, based on horizontal rather than vertical leadership, where power and authority are distributed on the basis of knowledge. This was discussed in more detail in previous chapters. I have also discussed that there have been more publications describing what organizations should do than on how they can make changes.6
