Dear Pneuma,

Ideas are born into human brains.  Then, the human chooses to share, create or discard the idea.  Ideas become experiential reality when the necessary resources are brought together and arranged in particular ways outside of the human brain.

So, the idea has first to be thought, then to be understood so as to be either shared with others or deconstructed into component pieces, and then (re)constructed in experiential reality.

What is the best way for human beings to organize themselves so that ideas can be brought into experiential reality?  Some of us are very good at birthing ideas.  Some of us are very good at communicating.  Some of us are very good at breaking large things into small things.  Some of us are very good at putting small things together and making big things.  Some of us are very good at perceiving the potential value of created ideas.  Some of us are very good at perceiving the potential harm of created ideas.

It seems that a quality of leadership is the ability to facilitate the growth and creation of ideas, by aiding in the organization of resources.  It seems that a quality of leadership is the ability to weigh benefits and consequences for the creation of ideas.  It seems that a quality of leadership is the ability to communicate ideas from one human brain to other human brains.

What happens to us when we believe each individual is responsible for each part of the realization of ideas: from birthing the ideas to gluing the pieces together?   What are various methods of organizing people so that strengths and weaknesses in the various aspects of idea realization can be accommodated?

Just pondering,
