They also outline the five building blocks that enable balanced leadership: nomination of team members, identification of potential leaders, selection and empowerment of leaders, empowered leadership and its governance, and leadershiptransition. The book explains the coordination of these building blocks through the socio-cognitive space shared by project manager and team.
