what is a complex adaptive system
-the term used to represent the living self-org activity of people and groups of people. humans (people, in groups and in orgs) are living changing, evolving systems. People have interplays between each other. People and groups always try and make sense of the world

it is the quality and existence of relationships which affect these things
in hat ways did most distinguish leadership as
something that happens to us and something that each of us participates in.

what kinds of leadership were described in the various stories (not sure if we should memorize the terms or not…)
o First kind of leadership described as “crossing the line” – story to exemplify pg 75
o Second way to participate in leadership is to engage with the vision and authority of a designated leader
o Can lead by asking questions – this parks dialogue about possibility + obstables for change – > “What is the issue? what do we need to change to make this better?”
is there a linear relationship between a great leader and being a great manager
o Just because you’re an excellent leader, doesn’t mean you’ll be a great manager (and vice versa) - Leadership is not defined by a label!
