How does collective leadership within social networks resolve chronic and complex problems common to communities? Unfortunately, sometimes it does not, but when it does, the outcome may be truly extraordinary. We use a case study approach to explain how one Midwest community within the USA applied collective leadership within a community network to reduce teen births. It took ten years of what many identified as provocative media campaigns and comprehensive sex education programs to reduce teen births by 65%, significantly exceeding the stated goal. Using Kotter's change model as a backdrop, powerful strategies and provocative creativity reveal courageous leadership within a social network of diverse people and organizations focused on improving the social well being of their community.

解决复杂的社区问题：将集体领导和Kotter的变革模型应用于社交系统网络中的严重问题

社交网络中的集体领导如何解决社区常见的慢性和复杂问题？不幸的是，有时并非如此，但如果确实如此，结果可能确实是非同寻常的。我们使用案例研究的方法来说明美国的一个中西部社区如何在社区网络内运用集体领导来减少青少年生育。在许多被认为是挑衅性的媒体运动和全面的性教育计划中，花了十年的时间才使青少年的出生率降低了65％，大大超出了既定目标。以Kotter的变革模型为背景，强大的战略和挑衅性的创造力揭示了在由致力于改善其社区的社会福祉的各种人和组织组成的社交网络中的勇敢领导。
