Viewing leadership as a behavior, and not a trait, is more appropriate for the 'hyper-connected' and dynamic workplace. What most organizations need today is leadership behavior from more than just the executives and managers. Therefore, a more useful perspective of leadership is about influence, where a person with a change idea has the courage to influence others to accept the change idea and act on it.

How is leadership in a hyper-connected workplace different? It’s been an ongoing conversation here, as this comment by Stephen Downes, on leadership as an emergent property, provides a counterpoint to certain popular leadership literature, especially “great man” theories.
‘Leadership’ is the trait people who have been successful ascribe as the reason for their success.
It is one of those properties that appears to be empirically unverifiable and is probably fictional.
