I think the focus on creating a culture of people who are willing to lead-up rather than on any individual leader makes the crucial difference here. The team can lead up and introduce the culture to other teams in the organization and won't be disadvantaged if any one individual leader leaves the team. A winning concept, thanks for sharing.

Creating an environment of creative, innovative communication between all of levels of working positions within an organization is crucial to the progression and succes of the organization. This type if work culture is so desirable, and it really helps grow happy, creative employees as well as humble, responsive bosses. Don't hire yes men. Hire leaders. Right on. Great post Scott.

There exists however, "other" leaders who have a "top down" mentality. I think I was let go from my previous church for "leading up" too often, but hey, I am just guessing, I am JUST guessing. I allow it to happen, BUT for me its with filters. 1. From people who know about THAT area, ministry or subject. Guru's 2. People who love ME for ME and care about ME, loved ones. 3. People who simply know MORE than me, experienced folks. IF you have those attributes, I am looking for you, seeking you out, speak up, speak often, speak loud and proud.

Leading up can happen. I think you bring up a strong point…the “leader” of the organization sets the tone for this and if they give permission for this to happen it will bring out only the best.
