Hi Nellie <blush> -- and thanks. Collective leadership is the key IMHO -- together we achieve far more than working alone.
In a connected world -- collaboratively each of our individual contributions result in a formidable leadership that is hard to replicated with closed "control" models. I've experienced this so many times as WikiEducator has grown and matured. We have a winning approach! The secret is to "risk" a little openness and transparency --- this brings collective wisdom and leadership beyond our imagination. This is why we have been able to do so much, with so little in such a short time. We can only get better!!
