Leading Together: Coleading a Project, Team, or Organization

Co-leadership is an increasingly common form of leadership for projects, teams, and organizations. As work becomes more complex and organizations change more rapidly, companies are moving away from viewing leadership as an independent activity. In this course, Rebecca Newton gives you an understanding of how to structure co-leadership in a way that achieves the significant benefits research shows co-leadership can bring to an organization or team. She covers the key factors co-leaders need to take into account in order for the relationship to be successful, including what assumptions and expectations the leaders need to bring to light, what conversations they need to have to build a strong, trusting relationship, and what decisions they need to take about how they will lead together.
