    From servant leadership


    to professional leadership

    Co-operatives
    have become
    just one of those
    market players,
    hardly distinguished
    from their
    competitors

    Co-operative scholars, managers, staff,


    board members and members all of us
    are surrounded by currently dominant
    investor-owned business and our thinking,
    even the language we use, is shaped by
    that environment.

    (Expectations)

    It is the declared policy of the State to foster the


    creation and growth of cooperatives as a practical
    vehicle for promoting self-reliance and harnessing
    people power towards the attainment of economic
    development and social justice.

    How are co-operatives
    perceived or understood
    by the public?

    Are they contributing


    to solving the real
    problems of society?

    Its not one cooperative that


    will be made to account; it will
    be co-operatives as a whole.

    The Bundon Group


    A Framework for Analysis

    It is important for co-operatives themselves


    to resist any tendency to mimic investor-owned
    enterprises in operational, management and
    governance practices which do not reflect the
    distinctiveness of co-operatives..
    ICA Blueprint for Co-operative Decade

    Social
    Accountability

    Back to basics
    Rebalancing
    - economic & social
    - associational & enterprise needs
    - personal & institutional values
    Coop identity; coop difference

    Co-operatives cannot effectively meet


    these challenges from outside by acting
    ALONE; they can only do so by working
    together as a group, as a SYSTEM.
