Blending Leadership: The Shadow

About 2 months into this new blogging routine, I've managed to pull elements from all of the main sections of the book so far, so I'll now start at the beginning. This time with the Preface where Steve and I talk about the first version of the book (Leading Online) and some of what we have learned since.

​We also learned that by shining a light so intensely on leadership in online spaces, we cast a shadow on what leadership looks like in offline spaces. Shift the light and you shift the shadow; shut off the light and it is all shadow. A simple truism emerged: it is both impossible and impractical to articulate a vision about leading online without articulating a vision about leading offline.
