Collegial Leadership in practice

Real scenarios from the course show how collegial leadership is effectively applied in different contexts.

👥

Leadership emerges within the team

A cross-functional team gradually takes on leadership tasks without formal management, but with clarity about roles and responsibilities.

🔄

Team organises its own succession

After the retirement of a key figure, the circle collectively takes responsibility for selection, onboarding and handover.

⚖️

Deciding on equal terms

The executive board acts as a circle with clear roles, shared direction and distributed leadership.

💡

Innovation through self-responsibility

An experimental department becomes an independent company, founded and led by the employees themselves.
