Leadership means something different to each person.

In the past, people could look at an organizational chart and point to leadership - it was narrowly viewed as a person or position. A modern take sees leadership as a process situated in a specific context. Leadership has become a set of capabilities and behaviors. Anyone and any group of members can enact leadership simultaneously and in various moments over time, versus a fixed label.

At the heart of nearly every definition of leadership is the notion of influence (Yukl, 1998). Within decentralized settings, there is a greater emphasis on influence at the group, and organizational levels, in addition to the more traditional individual relationships.

Have you recently heard the term DAO? Not DOW or TAO…DAO.

DAO stands for a decentralized autonomous organization.

For many, DAOs represent the evolution in human work where the focus is less on jobs and more on collective value creation.
