Leadercamp on-demand: Building Innovative Teams

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. In today’s turbulent world, organizations and teams that aim to innovate and adapt to the changing landscape need to be flexible, collaborative, and forward-thinking. In this Leadercamp, Deborah Ancona, founder of the MIT Leadership Center at the MIT Sloan School of Management, highlights the critical importance of managing outside, as well as inside, the team’s boundary. Based on the book she coauthored with Henrik Bresman, "X-Teams: How to Build Teams That Lead, Innovate, and Succeed," Ancona explains the practice of distributed leadership – leadership not just at the top but at all levels of the firm – and how to set up x-teams and make them work.
