The Responsibilities of Online Community Leadership in the Sharing Economy with Alex Hillinger
I didn’t set out to become a community leader. Only recently am I learning what leadership actually is. In fact, despite being an accomplished athlete, I was never a good team captain. I was elected for that role more due to my drive and performance… that for any actual leadership skills.
As Yogahealer has grown up and is now in its solid teen years (it’s turning 16 this year), I have some perspective to reflect. In today’s conversation with my smart buddy Alex Hillinger, founder of curvejumping.com, consultant to google, and former business manager of Chase Jarvis at creativelive.com, we rap on the responsibility of the community leader in the sharing economy.
If you find yourself, like I did, at the center of a community you inadvertedly or purposefully started – you’ll love this conversation. If that isn’t you – you’ll get a kick out of listening in on the future of evolutionary communities, conversations, and companies.
I rap with Alex Hillinger from Curvejumping about the responsibilities of Online Community Leadership
- What happens when community leaders step into responsibility
- The role of collective leadership in evolutionary organizations
- How to do it all wrong as a community leader
- What the role of the leader will always be
- How the role of the tribe is evolving
What you’ll get out of tuning in
- How to become a community leader
- Why you need to Be All In
- How your Platform will evolve
