If you watch the video below you can see some experimentation that BMW is doing in changing the skin of their cars to a flexible material instead of rigid steel or fiberglass.

How does this apply to groups?

In one question - is your group model flexible? Does it allow for variety or is it rigid?  At the conference I just attended Heather Zempel said that "maturity does not equal conformity." I AGREE.  However I would follow that with rigidity does not equal excellence.

I belive that just like the BMW experiment we can build a small group leadership model that has a strong frame but stills allows flexibility for different styles of leadership and different types of groups.  Take a look at the video below and let me know what you get from the concept...
