Never before has there been such strong recognition of the
importance of community-based green spaces to local communities and
urban redevelopment. This book is an autoethnographic account of
the challenges and breakthroughs of learning to lead together. The
interwoven stories provide first-hand, evocative examples of how an
ecological and community approach to organisational development and
urban regeneration helped shift the business as usual paradigm. It
will help you identify and step beyond individualistic and 'heroic'
notions of leadership, and will inspire you to find your own way of
embracing natural and shared authority. The book focuses on the
experiences of developing an environmental education charity in
London; Global Generation. It shows how action research, nature
practice and storytelling has successfully grown shared purpose,
trust and collaboration, both within Global Generation and in the
wider community. The style and structure of the book reflects the
participatory approach that it presents. The author, Jane
Riddiford, deliberately challenges the norms of authorship, which
is shaped by the dominant Western narrative - objective, authorless
and 'othered'. This book goes beyond this narrow framework,
combining different styles of writing, including traditional and
autobiographical storytelling, diary entries and co-writing. Along
with practice accounts of what happened, challenges raised and
lessons learned, each chapter will also include other people's
descriptions of their experience of being involved in the process.
