Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of literature on collective leadership and how it contributes to community adaptability resilience, with examples drawn from the story of a small Andean town in Ecuador. A framework of collective leadership is offered that focuses on the importance of collectivist values, shared missions, collaborative organizational actions, multiple and revolving leadership roles, leadership trust, and communication, community member connectedness, and individual adaptive resiliency among members of a community or organization. Collective leadership and community collectivism are discussed in the context of Salinas, in terms of the social and economic development of the community over the past 50 years and in terms of how it navigated the stresses and disruptions caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic of 2020–2021.
