What if leadership at work wasn’t for a select few, but rather shared among many? Management consultant Gitte Frederiksen gives us the recipe for “distributed leadership” — dynamic, multi-dimensional networks of leaders that tap into everyone’s knowledge and creativity — and shows how it allows teams to do more and do it better.

Inflation hits people a lot harder than a crashing stock or housing market as it directly affects people’s cost of living that people immediately feel the impact of. It’s not surprising negative market sentiment is so high now. We really need help to survive in this Economy. The fin-Market;s have underperformed the U.S. economy as fear of inflation hammers the prices of stock;s and bonds. My portfoliio of $250k is down to $192k any recommendation;s to scale up my return;s during this crash will be highly appreciated.

I agree, my proffit have been quite consistent, regardless of market situation, I got in early 2019 and the constant downtrends and losses discouraged me so I sold off, got back in Dec 2020 this time with guidance from a portfolio-adviser. I found her on a CNBC interview where she was featured and reached out to her afterwards. long story short, its been two years now and I’ve gained over $85ok following guidance from my inveestment adviser.

@Kathryn Hannah ANDREEA TATIANA HERNANDEZ is the analyst/brokerage-adviser. She has been of great help and her tutelage has brought me to a higher understanding of profit generation. You can look up her name on the net for her page and reach out. She Understands the job perfectly

This recommendation literally came at the right time, I dipped by $11k in stocks last week alone. Its crazy! I just looked up Andreea Tatiana Hernandez online and researched her accreditation. She seem very proficient & I wrote her detailing my Fin-market goals . Information they say, is power. Thanks for this.

@Shehu Baduku You’re right, ANDREEA TATIANA HERNANDEZ is an expert, she made everything for me. A few weeks prior to this course,I had minimal knowledge environment, however, I can now happily say that I am confident with her analysis and market structure. I would strongly recommend Andreea’s signal and strategy to anyone who would like a boost in conference when trading and analyzing the markets.

This is resonant of collective community and cultures who run small businesses. Its when organisation structures get large and therefore departmentalised. Current individualised cultures are “what’s in it for me?” where collective thinking is about the network – ubuntu.

Well said ,so true, agreed with you,
what i understood is:
Leaders works 4 accuracy excellence ,their goal is beyond the title label or trophy while title orientation ppl stops functioning or remain lack on efficiency as they got success
They r free thinker , n forget about the box(out of the box),
They r the best of the best ‘learner’ always open to learn something extraordinary they always show themselves as a learner rather then expert (n here the growth LL stop)that’s the main quality of true leader
They listen everyone n make own decisions any difficult circumstances ,also gives chance to other ppl n encourage them whenever they need ,.
Problem solver mindset ,what is the actual problem (Not by hearing outside rumor,they go by themselves 4 analyze real issue, n take proper actions )? how to overcome the challenges ?
They Never hesitate to show their agree/ disagree rather pick fight or argument they firmly stand with their belief/ decision
They never pass on work pressure to others members n make them feels easy,comfortable in hard situations,
As u said **They work n believe in to make others leaders not followers **(u took shine of this sessions by saying this line 🎩).
They change strategy to achieve their goal but not Goal
*Seriously beautiful topics I lov it 👌
Believe in rewards not in awards (but awards also acceptable 🙂 😄
*This platform is doing tremendous job in such time ,people can learn something valuable life skills which v never learnt in acamedic/educational system 🤟👌’leaders without Label’

going from full hierarchy to throwing hierarchy completely away seems like a post-modern anti-trend. Why not keep the good parts of hierarchy and get rid of the toxic ones, and add a non-hierarchical network structure to it. It’s not all back and white, and using the best of both seems like a better option.

Right. In a hierarchical system, it is almost guaranteed that the people on the “bottom” are not only treated badly, but often they are not even seen as human beings but rather “Human Resources”.
