Traditional leadership has often focused on individuals. Their traits, strengths and personal impact. This episode offers a different perspective.
In Episode 3, Rebekah explores collective leadership and how our understanding of leadership has evolved over time. The conversation looks at what changes when we move away from focusing on who a leader is and instead pay attention to what leadership does. It reflects on the long-standing influence of trait-based leadership models, where development centred on individual capability and contrasts this with collective approaches that treat skills, experience and insight as shared resources.
This isn’t a theoretical discussion. Drawing on lived experience, the conversation explores where collective leadership is already working in practice, what it looks like day to day and how it differs from more familiar, hierarchical models of leadership.
The episode also examines the tension between traditional and less common views of leadership, shifting from authority and role to contribution and relationship and from individual impact to collective capability.
It’s a practical and reflective exploration of leadership as something we do together and what becomes possible when responsibility, learning and influence are shared.
