-
network entrepreneurs focus on creating authentic relationships and building deep trust from the bottom up. This focus on relationship-building costs relatively little yet ultimately makes a tremendous difference in impact. Network entrepreneurs ensure that the power of others grows while their own power fades, thereby developing capacity in the field and a culture of distributed leadership that dramatically increases the collaboration’s efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability.

Slack founder Stewart Butterfield has said the boost in productivity comes from eliminating e-mail, but Henderson scoffs at that idea. He thinks Slack teams are more productive because they can communicate better. Plus, they can catch up on what's happened while they were gone because conversations are held in searchable logs. Most of all, he says, Slack is about stepping up productivity by "reducing meetings." That's the "big one," Henderson emphasizes.
