Connectivism (Siemens, 2006) suggests that ‘knowledge is in the network’
“Learning in a richly networked society involves complex, shifting configurations of tasks, tools and people, with new distributions of activity across time, space and media (Caralho & Goodyear, 2014, p.xiv).

10 Principles for Network Leadership
1. Network leaders need to have strong personal networks to help inform/contextualise network practices and assist network dissemination.
2. Leaders need to have a focus on and clear understanding of the priorities and challenges for their association now and into the future.

10 Principles for Network Leadership
3. The leaders of networks need to be cognisant of the needs and interests of their members so that activities and communication are relevant and offer value.
4. Network leaders need to understand the capacity of executive members and have realistic expectations regarding workloads and timeframes given the volunteer nature of their involvement.
21

5. Executive members need to have clearly defined roles and responsibilities in order to foster ownership and provide a specific focus to their association-based activities.
6. The development of rapport between executive members is critical for effective functioning: face-to-face interaction can assist the establishment of working relationships, which can be strengthened through the use of communication technologies.

7. Systems need to be in place to ensure that association knowledge and experience are maintained, whilst new and innovative ideas are supported.
8. Networks require a culture of vibrancy and transparency if they are to be sustainable and maintain a healthy and engaged membership.

9. Communication needs to be fit for purpose both in mode and message: consistency and the appropriate use of technology can support a sense of connection and the development of a community of trust.
10. Establishing financial security enables strategic allocation of funds for activities aligned with association priorities.

It is important to take the time and work with network partners to ensure that there is a clear and shared vision for the network.
The role of a critical friend is highly important as networks involve various parties, interests and tensions.
