Can we really run organizations without leaders ? Yes, says organizational consultant Jeffrey Nielsen in this provocative book. According to Nielsen, it s time to stop structuring businesses as rank-based organizations run by a privileged elite who are so isolated from the front lines that they are downright counterproductive.

Debunking the leadership myth, Nielsen calls for an end to leader-based corporate hierarchies, which foster secrecy , encourage miscommunication , and steal the joy and dignity from work. His new paradigm is the peer-based organization.

No matter how you feel about Nielsen s theory of leaderless organizations, you are sure to find this book thought provoking. It will challenge your assumptions about the role of leadership in modern organizations.
