Collective Leadership

[David Steveson]

Seems we are all constantly in collective leadership, condemned to it  
as it where, and often doing anything we can to avoid this fate...lest  
we see and are seen as our folly and our glory in it. I will have to  
reflect more on this, but I sense from my experience so far, many of  
our collective spaces formalized into organizations become easy places  
to hide, rather then hone the leadership we carry, too often in our  
shadow bag.

So to me, following your beautiful invitation Ashely, I come to this  
circle to witness, and the act of witnessing now, is hosting myself  
into that sense of responsibility that comes so easy when I hear the  
calling to be with and of this circle we each are born into, call it  
earth or humanity or...? no matter, its the act of seeing and  
listening into meaningful and deep callings, like this question.That  
is passion at the center of responsibility for sure. Riffing on this,  
tonight I have no opinion, only song...ears and a keen sense of the  
leadership in our collective shadow. I wonder if my question would nt  
now be, "What is leadership have we keep in our collective shadow that  
we now need to call into the center"....
