There’s been a change in how people organize in enterprise. But with flat hierarchies, and self-organizing teams, has the concept of leader or even team captains become obsolete and forbidden?
Here are just 4 reasons why, despite the levelling of roles within teams, we still have – and need – captains and leaders…at least at times.

  • Sometimes, people just need a little push
  • Someone needs to hold themselves accountable to grow the team
  • A leader first and foremost sets an example for others to follow
  • People who are comfortable sharing wisdom must do so…for the benefit of the others in the team who are uncertain or inexperienced
