This document discusses redefining leadership in communities after a disaster like an earthquake. It suggests that leadership is best carried out by people embedded within communities who self-organize to address issues. The document provides examples of values that guide community leadership, such as equality, social justice, and compassion. It also discusses different terms that could be used instead of "leader", such as facilitator, animator, or weaver. The focus is on leadership as an action rather than a position, and how leaderless organizations can be unstoppable through networks and collaboration.
