This excerpt from Coffee with Raja is a blog post about the importance of recognizing and encouraging informal leadership in modern workplaces. The author argues that, in many organizations, team members often demonstrate leadership qualities by taking initiative, guiding projects, and influencing outcomes, even without formal titles. The blog post highlights research findings from Harvard Business Review, Gallup, Deloitte, and Google's Project Aristotle, all of which underscore the significant positive impact of informal leadership on team performance and morale. The author, Raja, then shares his own approach to leadership, focusing on identifying and encouraging informal leaders within his teams. He outlines both the benefits and potential drawbacks of his approach, emphasizing that by fostering a culture of recognition and shared leadership, organizations can unlock greater innovation, productivity, and employee engagement.
