I’m probably coming from a different angle here…
Upstream by Dan Heath (https://www.amazon.com/Upstream-Quest-Problems-Before-Happen-ebook/dp/B07THBM1M6/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3PMTPZ3YX4TTQ&keywords=upstream+dan+heath&qid=1687283541&s=books&sprefix=upstream+dan+heath%2Cstripbooks%2C164&sr=1-1)
Canoeing the Mountains by Tod Bollsinger (https://www.amazon.com/Canoeing-Mountains-Christian-Leadership-Uncharted/dp/0830841261)
and anything by Clay Shirky in books or TED talks (https://www.amazon.com/Cognitive-Surplus-Technology-Collaborators-2011-05-31/dp/B01FGKY1K8/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3HVYVTPD4QT45&keywords=cognitive+surplus+clay+shirky&qid=1687283689&sprefix=cognitive+surplus+clay+shirky%2Caps%2C192&sr=8-3)
