The Leadership Delusion: Travels in Search of a New Organizational Model for the 21st Century

In the hot summer of 2003 John Michell set
out on a search for meaning in work. This
search then became a journey spanning the
globe several times, during which he
unexpectedly stumbled upon a formula which
developed into a new and strikingly original
organizational model - a model in which
human beings can find fulfilment and
meaning in their working lives.

Much in this model was new, the three
essential findings being that leadership as it
is generally understood in organizations is
best seen as a delusion, that women have an
essential and as yet misunderstood role to
play in any new structure and that a suitably
prepared environment can engender a
harmonious leaderless group which in turn
releases a potential which manifests as an
organism displaying wisdom of a higher order
than that of any individual.
