The document discusses how organizational models and leadership styles are changing as work becomes more project-based and teams become more distributed. It suggests that traditional hierarchical, command-and-control models are breaking down as leaders have less direct control over subordinates. Instead, leadership requires providing benefits to team members from different companies to motivate their contributions. The role discussed is how to best support project success by focusing on responsibilities like effective communication, establishing limits on commitments, and defining roles rather than trying to take on tasks outside one's skills.
