Lateral Leading
Description
In organizations, there are always situations that can't be fixed with top-down directives. Often the only thing left to do is to craft cooperative relationships through understanding, power, or trust. The concept of lateral leadership - leading to the side - brings together ideas about how we can create processes of understanding, construct arenas of power, and build trusting (or mistrusting) relationships.
