Maximize your Company’s Power with Open Leadership

Regardless of their role, title, or position, leaders at all levels can practice leadership, including managers and individual contributors. Transforming or modernizing a business, whether it’s a small team or a large organization, requires a change in multiple areas. What was effective in the past may not be applicable in today’s rapidly changing, volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world. Leadership is distinct from management, particularly in organizations that embrace open leadership, where every individual can exhibit leadership qualities.

What is open leadership?

Open leadership is a perspective and a set of actions that anyone can take on. Open leaders, as described in The Open Organization, approach leadership with a focus on serving others, whether it be individuals, groups, teams, or the wider organization, in order to achieve a shared goal. They are individuals with strong characters who empower those around them. Open leaders excel in creating organizations that prioritize transparency, inclusivity, adaptability, collaboration, and a sense of community.

Red Hat Open Innovation Labs offers open leadership training sessions as part of its residencies, giving leaders the chance to enhance their open and agile skills needed to effectively lead their product teams. The training helps them to improve their sponsorship and advocacy skills, creating a supportive environment that encourages transformation and advancement.

When executed properly, open leadership fosters a positive organizational culture of involvement based on the principles of the open-source movement. In complex and rapidly changing business environments, leaders must learn to apply open values and principles in their actions and behavior. They must also effectively lead and manage remote and dispersed teams to build trust, promote psychological safety, and motivate their personnel.
