1. What is a culture of generosity and how can it be used to improve
education?
A culture of generosity was simliar to the underlying theme of Drive, and it relates to this notion of intrinsic motivation that people have to help others. The discussion was one that combined economic with social- where economic was to create, and social was to share.
2. What does it mean to say, "Free cultures get what they
celebrate?"
Supporting those who use cognitive surplus to create civic value was what the above quote was referring to. If cultures make something a priority, they can celebrate the outcomes when they help their fellow man.
3. How can you as a leader affect what your celebrate?
Free time and media tools allow a world population to volunteer and collaborate. With over a trillion free hours in the world each year and the media tools to create open source answers to problems, I truly believe we are in a time of great discovery of how to use these new tools to affect civic change in societies.
By encouraging this type of collaboration within my organization, I celebrate it's capabilities, and hopefully it's outcomes. I get more buy-in from the staff because they have ownership in the project, and it provides a unique learning experience for all involved.
