Explain the position Galanes and Adams take on the topic of "distributed leadership."

What will be an ideal response?


1. Leadership is the property of the group, not the individual who happens to hold the title of leader. All members can and should be equally responsible for the leadership of the group. (1).
2. The idea of distributed leadership explicitly acknowledges that the leadership of a group is spread among members, with each member expected to perform the communication behaviors needed to move the group toward its goal. (1).
3. The most important of these were providing structure, gatekeeping, setting group norms, and adhering to the group's task. We know this is unusual; most groups can and should use the services of a designated leader. However, this case verifies the important point that we made earlier: leadership belongs to the group. (1).
4. It is good for the group and good for the members when leadership is distributed among them. (1). (up to total of 4 points)
