@Lena Thanks for raising the importance of addressing this leader / manager gap. I’ve been thinking about it a lot.

What is it that a leader / manager needs to know about open education? How do they find out?

And given my [insight from yesterday](https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/oeweek-2022-day-3-highlights-learnings-summary/3554/12) that “open is best understood through doing” what are the actions open education actions leaders and managers can take? What does, “doing open education”, entail for a leader / manager?

Today while perusing the OEWeek Day 4 Events and Assets I tried to put myself in the shoes of a Leader / Manager. I imagined being responsible for systems, processes, and policies and wanting to understand and do open education associated with those responsibilities. What does that look like?

I began to wonder, Could an open education learning and doing path be assembled for Leaders / Managers from the OEWeek program? If I am a leader / manager which events and assets are for me? Which ones pertain to systems, processes, and policies?

I acknowledge that adopting a leader / manager mindset for choosing what to engage in from the OEWeek program is a dramatically different strategy than the [one](https://connect.oeglobal.org/t/oeweek-2022-day-3-highlights-learnings-summary/3554/17) @cogdog shared yesterday but it was fascinating to bring that lens to OEWeek and see what emerged.

I invite you all to try this for yourself. Take on the persona of a leader / manager. What OEWeek events and assets would you choose?

I think there is a lot there to choose from.

Which leads me to wonder about this gap.  
To cross a gap you have to want to.  
Perhaps the challenge is not so much that there is a gap but rather an absence of will.  
Perhaps what is needed is not gap filling but motivation raising?
