Co-Active Leader Beside: Partnership and Synergy

Most of the time, co-leading consists of dividing responsibilities and taking turns. Co-Active Leader Beside is a partnership between two people in which both people are 100 percent responsible for every part of the initiative.

Co-Active Leaders Beside take responsibility for their world by consciously designing their partnership around a shared vision and intention (co) and leveraging each other’s strengths so that a remarkable synergy occurs with the whole being that is greater than the sum of the parts (active).

Co-Active Leaders Beside are committed to leaning into their co-leader 100 percent, balancing openness and curiosity about the other person with a commitment to stand fully in their own authority. In the dimension of Co-Active Leader Beside, we can disagree with each other in a way that is dynamic and productive because we are both committed to something larger than being right about our own point of view.
