True. I didn't describe it as well as I should have, I guess. For decisions that affect the group, generally, they are voted on within the group. Christer would rather see the group be interdependent working together rather than dependent on him. As president of my local LUG, I have the same attitude. However, Christer does lead the group, and takes on a great deal of responsibility to see that the group heads in the direction that it should. The most effective leaders are those who see the group become successful without much bureaucracy or overhead. With that said though, being a mentor for the US Teams project, I am interested to learn how other group leaders lead their team, and what they do to make their team a success. Teams like Chicago, Ohio and Colorado are making big strides, and I'm curious about the process they take to see it happen.
