These two short videos get to the heart of Conversational Leadership.

Leadership is a practice not a position of authority by Ronald Heifetz

What is the work of leadership? by Patricia Shaw

In summary using Ron's and Patricia's words:

What is leadership?: "If we understand leadership as a practice, as an activity, then it becomes available to anybody, high or low, any place or position."

What is the work of leadership?: "Leadership is about convening conversations that might not otherwise happen."

Conversational Leadership: We are all leaders. We lead through the conversations we convene and in which we engage.
