Chapter DOI: doi.org/10.36284/celelon.oa11.16 Discussion Questions What have you learned about leading—and how did you learn it? Looking across the chapters, what patterns do you notice in how contributors came to understand leadership (through failure, identity, mentorship, institutional constraint, theory, care, refusal)? How do those patterns resonate with your own learning? How do your identities, commitments, and contexts shape the way you practice—or resist—leadership? Where do you experience alignment or tension between who you are and what leadership roles seem to require? How might those tensions be generative rather than limiting? Several contributors describe leading without authority, leading relationally, or leading toward deep change. In your own setting, what conditions make leadership possible? What conditions constrain it? What would it mean to lead as an adaptive, relational learner there? Share:
