Episode notes
Leadership Is Creating Capabilities
- Leadership is about creating new capabilities that others observe, not titles or positions.
- When others see new capabilities being developed, they gain confidence to create their own, sparking leadership.
Pandemic Accelerated Network Economy
- COVID accelerated the shift to a networked economy where work is primarily remote.
- Technology like Zoom enables this, reducing reliance on physical office spaces and changing work dynamics.

- Roles focus on unique capabilities and results, unlike jobs which fit rigid hierarchical boundaries.
- Going beyond role borders sparks creativity; going beyond job borders causes chaos and shuts down innovation.
