I think what you are calling “Swarm Leadership” may be similar to leadership in groups functioning above trust level 5 on Jack Gibb’s scale. This is when a group has no leader, but rather than being leader-less, it is leader-full.

I am also reminded of a story from Occupy Wall Street in NYC. An undercover agent was going around, chatting up people, and asking who was in charge — a not so subtle “Take me to your leader.” One young woman answered him, “I’m in charge.” He was delighted. “Great. What are you in charge of?” Smiling, she said, “I’m in charge of cooking this food for this meal.”
