307 Collective leadership and flattened hierarchy: a new model for a better future

Has our pursuit of professionalism usurped our innate social abilities to work collectively and creatively for the greater good?  Samantha Slade, author, social designer and cultural anthropologist, believes so and is working with organisations and teams to help them rebalance their leadership paradigms and flatten their hierarchies. While this is not a 'perfect or easy journey', Sam taps into what she sees as our core human instincts of care and togetherness that have been smothered by corporate structures. Making her work both hopeful and insightful is the way it braids the three strands of past, present and future paradigms  into a new way of leading, teaming and performing.  Shownotes See more at: http://www.zoerouth.com/podcast/leadership-paradigm-sam-slade Key moments 3:13  An amazing origin story - revolution and kidnapping! 10:10  Deep change is required to get horizontal 12:20  Our innate abilities - we know how to be together 14:00  Straddling two leadership paradigms 16:10  Join us in Amplifiers Academy 18:00  Non-hierarchical gains 19:50  Understanding leadership status 23:00  Equity and fairness - from meetings to money 28:00  The compensation conversation 29:20  Fairness is not equal 32:10  Individual versus collective focus 33:40  Unpacking the power dynamic 36:50  Consent-based decision making 38:20  How to enable a paradigm shift 42:00  Why go horizontal? 45:10  Where to start 48:10  Zoe's wrap up
