This document discusses leadership challenges in today's networked workplace and proposes a design-based leadership model. It argues that traditional hierarchical leadership is no longer effective and that modern work requires creative collaboration to realize a shared vision. It uses Pixar as an example of an organization that embraces this approach, where leaders create an environment of freedom, idea sharing, and risk-taking to enable talented people to work together effectively. Finally, it asserts that designers have leadership skills that can establish a collaborative culture and integrate strategic and creative thinking.

Editor's Notes
- Initial assignments focus on a particular precedent for the project and lead to a "pin-up": a group discussion of design work where individuals pin working drawings and models on the wall, describe their work in progress, and get feedback from the design Mentor and from other participants. Subsequent assignments ask practitioners to research an aspect of the design problem and lead to a "guest crit": similar to the ‘pin-up’ but more formal, and with outside experts and other professionals in the field invited to comment on the work.The next stage focuses on developing the basic solutions in more detail. This smaller-scale examination of one or more details of the design project- focusing on how the different specific elements related to the overall design strategy- leads to a much more formal "review," again with guest critics, but now demanding a much higher level of preparation and organization in the presentationsThe final iteration is eventually presented to the public for review and a final round of feedback
