The traditional “Command & Control” model for running projects and project teams is rapidly changing. Today’s economy, millennials entering the workforce and the empowerment of knowledge workers has changed the way in which teams operate. It is very hard to be in command and control when you may not be aware of critical customer knowledge that your people have.

Harvard Business Review found that those individuals that were adding the most value and had critical customer knowledge were not even known to the management team.

Leaders need to shed the command-and-control and consensus styles in favor of collaborative leadership according to Herminia Ibarra and Morten T. Hansen of HBR. (July 2011)

Large and small organizations are working towards more collaborative structures to leverage the hidden knowledge in the organization and are finding that when individuals succeed so does the organization.
