1. If we are trying to foster leadership as a collaborative process, is it counter-productive to select and focus on building the skills of individuals?

2. If the leadership is enacted by many people who bring different skills to a collective endeavour, why would we try to cultivate all of the leadership skills in one person?

3. Should we be recruiting and supporting people who want to work on a shared purpose or in a common context to support collective leadership and accelerate action learning?
