Many collaborative efforts begin with one, two or three persons. From these few people, leadership emerges. As the collaboration grows and membership increases, it is important that each member feel a sense of responsibility for the success of the coalition. In addition, advice can be sought from other communities which have had previous experience in coalition building. Changing leadership (i.e., rotating chairs or co-chairs) ensures that a few individuals are not viewed as controlling or overburdened with responsibility. In addition, change in leadership can be established in the bylaws of a collaborative effort to make the transition of leadership as smooth as possible.
