507: Behind the Mic: Teamwork Versus Leadership

Today's episode explores a subtle but potentially meaningful and large shift, considering focusing on sustainability teamwork more than sustainability leadership.

The main difference is that I think people feel taking a leadership role makes them vulnerable and means lots of work. Joining a team is fun. If enough people join it feels natural and odd not to.

You're hearing me develop an idea in real time.

Here are the notes I read from:

Switch to team?

• Leadership stick neck out
• Sports, business, military, music, drama, family, indigenous tribes, small communities
• Playing Beethoven: no one but everyone
• Everyone matters, bench player, fans, home court advantage
• Improv exercise
• Everyone can join team. Not to messes it up for everyone. Imagine fan blocking. Some can lead, many leadership roles: coach, outstanding player, biggest fan
• Internet search: nothing relevant
• Kicks in tribalism
• Competition two meanings: winning versus finding and reaching their potential
• Opponent is the old values and complacency
• Difference between parent and babysitter
• Chamber quartet with tuba or clown horn is SUV
