Nice, short and concise book describing a simple, but whole leadership model that encompasses five dimensions: leader within, leader in front, leader behind, leader beside, and leader in the field. I liked how Co-Active model emphasizes dynamism of the relationship between Co and Active (called <i>dance in the moment</i>). Co-Active Leadership, in particular, emphasizes continuous shift in balance between five dimensions, when leaders e.g. step in front to create a vision, then immediately step behind and champion others to step up, while constantly sensing the environment and field of energy to tap into their intuition and instinct.<br/><br/>I sometimes struggled to encourage my team members to take ownership and step up into leadership at their level without giving them formal authority. I can see now how I can use Co-Active model to coach them better.
