  • I’mmmmm not sure if this is relevant, but there’s a distinction between leaders and… Managers/facilitators etc. Leaders are never assigned or appointed as leaders. Leaders are natural and defined by the fact that people follow them.

    Everyone can be a leader in different ways and on different topics, in different situations.

    This is often confused with managers (and synonyms) who are appointed, and somehow supposed to always be the decision maker in… Many things.

    Someone to keep the oversight and ensure orchestration like an orchestra conductor is important like that.

    Leaders don’t need to be good managers. Leaders don’t need to be managers, though at times they are. Leaders don’t need to be anything, they already do leader things by definition, by the fact that they’ve changed people’s resolve/opinion etc.

    But leaders are natural. It’s so, so, so important that people learn that they don’t always have to be a leader in everything, and on the flip side, can naturally rise to the occasion given their knowledge, passion, and relevant circumstances.

    Makes things way more fluid, less forced, equal. And plays to everyone’s strengths in that regard.

    Sorry, I don’t have a 1 liner for that. Maybe someone else does.



  • https://organizing4power.org/ find 10+ comrades and sign up for a course, that’ll help a ton. Though their courses are more about how to strategize and actually talk to people to get to winning actions.

    It can be a good way to bring focus to a group of people (or to have a clear starting point for a group of people that’s “just learning” and not immediately putting themselves at risk). Just walk up to people you trust and offer to take the course together, and tell them to find others who might be interested, and take it from there.
