Governance From Below: Can Children Lead the Way?
Another aspect of the world’s critical leadership crisis is our tendency to mix leadership tightly and rigidly with ego and feelings of self-worth. The term “mutual leadership” hardly appears at all in management literature. Mutual leadership can mean handing around the leader role like bread at the dinner table. Part of the objective of bringing in child leaders is to help adults have an experience of mutual leadership. Adults can also have mutual leadership with each other. Every adult has an inner child, often adults work in hierarchies of power, they have different physical strengths, and so on. Adults can exercise mutual leadership with each other, and children can help them learn how to do it well. When everyone can help lead, we will all be better led!
