Several questions about leadership (invisible) on issues of
social change.  I always gain insight as I hear from you.




I am still thinking through the concept of self-organizing
systems and invisible leadership.  I am
amazed at its implications and continue to expand my understanding or more precisely,
its understanding and impact on me.  A discussion we
had sometime back was very helpful to me. 
Now, I bring it back to the table--



Last night, I watched the movie, Amazing Grace—the story of a system reflecting upon itself, on
social change.    What is the role of leadership in social
change or justice issues?  How does invisible leadership apply in such
context?  Was, and if so, how was William
Wilberforce an invisible leader?  I am
asking this in an open manner trying to get a handle on it through this
experience. 



My first thoughts are that the leader is the surfer of the
current or wave, but before surfing, he/she (or the system)  must acknowledge its there and decide when to
get on the surf board and ride, and when to simply watch and wait. But what
about speaking?  Does it help create the
wave, simply acknowledge it, or what?



This also carries over into the issue of environment, etc. .
. or any issue.   
 

Thanks,

Craig
