outside without fear

leadership is about learning together, and
constructing meaning and knowledge collectively
and collaboratively. It involves opportunities to
surface and mediate perceptions, values, beliefs,
information, and assumptions through continuing
conversations; to inquire about and generate ideas
together; to seek to reflect upon and make sense of
work in the light of shared beliefs and new
information; and to create actions that grow out of
these new understandings.
Lambert, 1998
