Leadership in participatory culture

Ted Ernst pionts to an article on leadership in participatory culture. The artile contains the following list of capacities:

trust others and trust in the collective ability of a group
draw attention to commonality between participants (rather than dividing them with differences)
demonstrate active conscious commitment to vision, values, and goals as example to others
act responsively to feedback and help grow feedback loops among participants
show their humanity, making them credible and proving their integrity regularly
listen actively and deeply with distributed credit so decisions seem to come from collective
instill a sense of togetherness, a sense of “we can do this if we each do our part”
defend the collective to outsiders and represents their needs
hold each participant to their greatness
open to seeing how the pieces fit together–open to emergence
willing and ready for new opportunities
able to respond with compassion in times of stress and difficulty

This is a very interesting and relevant list, especially in light of the exploring some of us are doing around the Art of Governance.
