"A life affirming leader is one who knows how to rely on and use the intelligence that exists everywhere in the community, the company, the school, the organization. A leader these days needs to be a host - one who convenes people, who convenes diversity, who convenes all viewpoints in creating processes where our intelligence can come forth." Margaret Wheatley, The Berkana Institute
