Great Leadership Is a Network, Not a Hierarchy | Gitte Frederiksen | TED

Who is this? Haven't heard something more beautiful this year... tell this to the world... let em hear it out... LOUD!

@7:43 Kindness is the hardest part. People sometimes make it their jobs to be cruel and to pay the cruelty forward that was shown to them, thinking it’s a right of passage or necessary to sustain their business model.

Hello, my name is yujin, 13 years old. Your speeching is very interesting for me. When I listening to it, idea is popping up!! And I feel a respect to you. Because your story and my thought is similar. Sometimes I imagine a new society. It is like your thought. Although the new society you said is realised in a our society. it is a very small. This is a problem. I wanted the society you said. I believed the society we loved appears soon! Finally, I'm very pleased to watch your video. Thank you for reading♡

100% agreed, wonderful mind set!

Love this perspective and can see the benefits 100%

This caption changed my thought process

Brilliantly delivered!

Thanks for sharing! Fruits for thoughts.

Thank you for this. It has helped me pull some things together

Great speaker! 👍

absolute class ! I dont think this appreciated or valued as much as it sould be, and also the people sitting on information about improvements thinking outside the box do not get the same acknowledge as the people on top. Even some times the people that come up with a new perspective also get "dragged" down because of their new way of thinking. i got sacked because i was thinking outside the box and still taking care of customer experience + sorting out their issues wit the so called on boarding. you should come to Norway and teach us about ur thoughts and explain in a simple way why leaders and Co Workers should listen to others input.

Love this❗❤

Brilliant! ❤

I've said this for so so long!!

This might be so but I feel that many people who choose to reach for leadership roles are doing so for the salary increase or the title/status. They are not interested in being leaders and in some cases do harm to a work environment and to the people who report to them. I've worked under managers who seemed motivated by these and I saw unethical behaviour such as favouritism and engaging in relationships with women who reported to them.

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.
