Agree fully. The one who leaves the title at home is the one who becomes a leader. I am just modifying Kennedy’s words. "Ask not what your team can do for you, ask what you can do for your team."

Open learning, self learning, is a method without gathering people. I open my home-page (http://hanai-toshihiko.net) for analytical chemistry. That is analytical chemistry with computational chemistry. Students can study fundamental analytical chemistry using computational chemistry quantitatively. This is not one-way teaching. This is on-line communication and self-training. You can read titles and references. These are in English. That is fundamental explanation of y previous book "Quantitative in silico chromatography, 2014, RSC) plus new methods. Regards, Toshihiko Hanai, Ph.D.

Jim Whitehurst Early on at IBM one of my mentors once pointed out that the next steps/actions chart has no action with myself as owner !! That message left an imprint and have also since helped ensure that I share action leads/ ownerships in team projects.
