"To describe the process of getting from that role-based transaction to this more personal relationship we're coining the word personize—not personalize, but personize. Get to know each other in the work context." So says Ed Schein in an effort to redefine leadership. It's not 'personal learning', but it does capture the nature of the problem - role-based transactions are impersonal and alienating. Schein says "Leadership is a group sport, not an individual heroic activity." I think it's more than that - leadership is about more than creating an insiders' club. Or, at least, it should be.
