“Leadership is a concept we often resist. It seems immodest, even self-aggrandizing, to think of ourselves as leaders. But if it is true that we are part of a community, then leadership is everyone’s vocation, and it can be an evasion to insist that it is not. When we live in the close-knit ecosystem called community, everyone follows and everyone leads.”
Parker Palmer, Let Your Life Speak
“A leader is one who… has more faith in people than they do, and… who holds opportunities open long enough for their competence to re-emerge.”
Margaret Wheatley
