Abstract

The vast majority of things that we want to do are bigger and more complex than can reasonably be accomplished by a single person. Simply put, that’s why we need organizations—pin order to find a way to work together. It is the classic and perhaps original problem of organizational theory—how do we coordinate the efforts of multiple people working together on a single task? Usually we divide the task into smaller parts and worry about how to coordinate those smaller tasks so they fit together. Although there may be some aspects of a group creative process that can be divided into individual tasks, the creative process in general and leadership in particular—even self-leadership—require collaboration.
