## Description

My ideal would be to do a main presentation on the synthesized findings from the academically rigorous grounded theory study, which included 23 intensive, confidential interviews. Then to have a workshop offered the following day, which shares much more of a short highlight reel from the interviews and gets quickly to people discussing, connecting, and reflecting with each other on the topics of leadership within their contexts.

Presentation

Decentralizing Leadership: Mojo over Ego

What does leadership look like in the context of DAOs and how is it being cultivated? 

This session is a giant tldr on leadership within the DAO context. It shares insights from:

the past: 25 years of historical research on shared, distributed, and collective leadership, representing 1400+ primary studies
the present: 23+ intensive, confidential interviews with people in leadership roles at DAOs like BANKLESS, Gitcoin, RaidGuild, UMA, and so many more!
the future: the horizon and next steps you can take to develop your leadership throughout 2023
