Hi Mary,

This is a very interesting question - especially love the question "Do you really want success to be dependent on one person?"

An area that I am focussing on is creating a culture of accountability where as coined by Roger Connors &amp; Tom Smith authors of The OZ principle the organisation learns to
See it
Own it
Solve it
Do it

The principles that these authors and accountability specialists employ will certainly create the scenario which you describe above "a culture where just about anyone could take the lead to make things happen, rally the troops, or uphold standards, even in the absence of the “leader.”
