Superleadership means managing others to lead themselves through delegation and empowerment

Evidence

Manz and Sims define superleadership as “leading others to lead themselves,” or managing to encourage self-leadership in subordinates and teams within the organization. Superleadership, therefore, emphasizes delegation and the empowerment of subordinates and teams to set goals and make operating decisions. Thus it is a particularly appropriate leadership style for organizations of the 2P’ century, and the authors recommend that superleadership be practiced in all types of organizations and at all levels of management. — Thomas Davenport & John Beck, The Attention Economy, 29
