Hape--

I'm working on a leadership training program for Siberian women.  The project
director, Jan Secor, tells us that because leaders, under the tsar and the
Communist regime, were people of privilege, the leader of even a small,
not-for-profit organization expects to have certain privileges because of
that leadership position.  And this is expected by organization members, as
well.  So partnership and equality do not come easily to mind for anyone.

We are hoping to model equality and shared leadership in our program--a
challenge for all of us!

My best wishes on your good work!

This fits some of my experience with voluntary events;

-It was a long and conceptual theme and may not of represented a real
"performance challenge" for the folks
-Giving an expert input as to how you wanted the groups to function can
close some of the space.  You were not just opening but saying "do it this
way".  It tends to lead participants to think they are not the experts and
so they tend not to take the early initiative
-It worked because the space was open enought for folks to get into it and
find their passion
-Diversity helps

Don't know if this helps
