Navigating from ‘heroic’ leadership to a distributed leadership model in a virtual community of practice by Ian Johnson, Ed Bickle, Ralitsa Kantcheva

“…The way in which CoPs function (Wenger, 1998) was important to the formation of DL theory (Spillane, Halverson and Diamond, 2001). Vice versa, DL has been argued as facilitative for CoPs by allowing them to be self-driven by members’ interests, abilities, and willingness (Lester and Kezar, 2017). …”
