Leadership Lessons from the Open Source Community of WordPress
Description
My friend Andrea Middleton has an incredibly complex job leading a diverse organization of volunteer event organizers located around the globe in her role as Dot Organizer for the WordPress community.
A job she does with grace, thoughtfulness and caring since 2011.
The events are called WordCamps and there is typically 1-2 going on every weekend throughout the year around the world.
In fact there have been over 1,000 WordCamps, in 75 cities, 65 countries and 6 continents since they started in 2006.
We talk about a number of topics like:
* Leading volunteers
* Managing conflict
* Keys of effective conference organizers ("hosts")
* and more
