one person; it is instead achieved through highly
cohesive core groups/teams.

* leadership is shared if group members trust and respect each other
Body III: Decision-Making
* accomplished through constantly rotated and well-lead core groups
Body IV: Work
* providing feedback to one another is essential for creating
these cohesive teams
