Members of the best teams don’t treat rules and roles like a musical composition that’s played exactly as written. Instead, like jazz musicians, they improvise, trying new things and constantly making adjustments in response to one another’s moves, while still being guided—and often constrained—by the original theme. Jazz bands routinely rotate leadership, giving each player a chance to have a solo or develop a musical idea while others play a supporting role.
In their study Neeley and Reiche tracked 115 senior leaders at a global U.S.-based tech consulting company. Most of them were responsible for selling and implementing projects in countries where they had little experience.

They practiced “downward deference”: working side by side with employees rather than lording power over them.
