Abstract

So far we have painted a picture of the new game and the new rules driving the need for open source leadership. It is now our intention to concentrate on the skills required to practice open source leadership. Leadership is perhaps one of the most overused and least understood terms of our age. It is probably the most researched topic in organizational behavior and there are more leadership theories than you can poke a stick at, each giving partial answers to highly complex leadership questions. As Nobel Prize-winner Richard Feynman (1994, p. 22) once said: I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I am not absolutely sure about anything and there are many things I know nothing about.
