Please use Google and IBM as examples.

Traditional Hierarchies like IBM that are trying to introduce distributed practices as an overlay on a traditional hierarchy. This category also includes professional organizations, which may have fewer levels and be governed by a partnership model, but are nonetheless trying to shift from their top-down, centralized control to distributed leadership.

Distributed Organizations like Google that have minimized hierarchy and maximized collaboration with multi-directional influence from their inception.

An excellent submission will show how the ‘theory explains practice’ and/or how ‘the practice of leadership compliments or supports the stated theory’.
