Abstract

Leading without line authority is a creative process that pursues change through the cultivation of new relationships outside of the existing organizational chart. It is an emergent process. Non-line authority leadership is often at play when undertaking new initiatives that fall outside of the existing structures and hierarchy of an institution. The motivations and drivers are academic and professional for the non-line authority leader more than they are financial and authority based. The institutional value package of vision, mission, and goals serves as the magnetic force to create new values. Value rather than cost drives discussions and negotiations. Non-line authority leaders rely less on policies and procedures and more on listening and persuasion to create new shared purpose. These leaders must be socially fearless. They identify, cultivate, and align existing constituencies around the new value and purpose. They create a common vocabulary through listening. Simple communication tools are presented that can assist those leading without line authority to achieve new goals.
