12. 12 “There is the dominant belief that leadership should come from the top and bosses are in some way responsible for their employees’ performance and morale, much as loving parents are responsible for their children. Holding on to this line of thought represents the choice of dependency over empowerment. Empowerment means that each member is responsible for creating the organization’s culture, for delivering outcomes to its customers and especially for the quality of their own experience. This is the adventure…” Peter Block, Stewardship P C A P C A This is a “partnership”/ Adult to Adult system or belief mindset

17. 17 “We must forgo the notion that it is the role of the leader to be fully accountable. We must no longer believe that real change in any organization can only start at the top. We must accept responsibility for ourselves, for the relationships and partnerships to which we belong, and for the work of the organization. We must understand and act on our role as co- creator. To make this new understanding and practice of leadership a reality, we must accept responsibility and accountability for the workgroup even if we don’t have the authority we have long thought we needed.” Closing thought… ~ Russ Moxley, Leadership and Spirit
