Rod A. Beckstrom, author of "The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations," explores the challenges and advantages of leaderless organizations. If you cut off a spider’s head, it dies; if you cut off a starfish’s leg it grows a new one, and that leg can grow into an entirely new starfish. Traditional top-down organizations are like spiders, but now starfish organizations are changing the face of business and the world. In the wake of 9/11, Beckstrom was appointed as the founding Director of the U.S. National Cybersecurity Center and a Senior Advisor to the Director of National Intelligence as the U.S. military sought new strategies to fight an unprecedented enemy.
