It is so exciting to follow your discoveries about shared leadership!
Many years ago, a leader from Asia Pacific Region said to me: 'A trouble shared is a trouble halved!'. when it comes to learning, I would claim the opposite: A learning shared is knowledge doubled!
Shared stories -> shared experiences -> shared knowledge -> shared ownership of any challenge and its solution!
I wish you good sharings and beneficial development of your leadership, on both personal and organizational levels.
