Requirement · part of 4.2.3.4. Serve actively in a position of responsibility for a period of months

4.2.3.4.6. Why "responsibility" rather than "leadership"

Required

The Guide answers the common objection directly. Taking and accepting responsibility is the foundation of leadership; the requirement as written recognises that some are destined to lead a group and others give quality support behind the scenes, and that the work of the supporters is part of the leadership effort.

  1. Guide to Advancement (2025), Section 4.2.3.4.6 · Why the requirement says responsibility rather than leadership, and that the work of supporters is part of the leadership effort.
