Blog post by Etienne and Beverly Wenger-Trayner on leadership groups within communities as act of service to lead group process. September 14, 2012 Need to do something like this in setting up Studio leadership roles that could be period specific, event specific, etc. See excerpt: The practice goes like this: everyone at a meeting belongs to a leadership group - and each group stewards one part of the learning process of the whole group. In this way leadership of the community meeting is distributed over the entire event. Leadership here is seen as an act of service, that is, not leadership in terms of telling others what to do, but helping the group develop itself as a learning partnership. We've seen these groups lead to some transformational turn-arounds in group dynamics and the learning potential. (Notwithstanding the times they flopped - which led us to learn a great deal!) We gave playful names to the groups in the spirit of making it a fun and inventive way of leading the process: agenda activists, community keepers, critical friends, social reporters, external messengers, value detectives. Over the years we've come to see that these groups can work well in lots of different contexts including group meetings, conferences, and long-term community development. Anywhere, that is, where there is an intention for collective learning.

14 minute video by Bev and Etienne Wenger-Trayner on their value creation network, April 2015. Explains the value creation network beautifully and impact of social learning from immediate value to potential value to applied value to realized value and then its strategic and enabling value.

A brilliant look by Wenger-Trayners on social learning leadership disciplines, December 30, 2014

Beverly Wenger-Trayner's post from 8/2016 on learning together by asking the right questions is excellent

interesting start of a social learning leadership spectrum model

Look at how the social learning certificate portfolio requirements in the overview are presented with the certificate timeline. I find this clear and compelling . . . should we adapt for badges?
