How many of you have attended a Boston LLC meeting before? Will give you a little more background on LLC in just a minute How many of you use twitter? Feel free to tweet -- Gibran is a wonderful person to follow Boston has a nationwide reputation as a hub for those who are developing and applying network approaches to leadership development, systems and social change. There is no better place to have a conversation on leadership and networks. We are part of an ongoing conversation that recognizes that our access to networks through social technologies and social media is fundamentally changing the way we live and work. Using blogs and other social media tools is engendering, according to the Monitor Institute a new networked mindset -- a way of working that is characterized by principles of openness,sharing, transparency, decentralized decision-making and distributed action -- what Monitor calls “working wikily”? Not only is it transforming how we work,its also transforming how we lead. That’s what we want to talk about today: Leadership and networks
The Leadership Learning Community is a learning network of leadership development practitioners, funders, consultants, and researchers who share a commitment to transform how leadership work is conceived, conducted and evaluated in the social sector and beyond. We convene learning circles, webinars, and use social technolgoies like wikis, blogs, and twitter to weave together our community and extend the reach of our networks.
