Family strictly defined: mother, father, wife, husband, sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, uncles, cousins, nephews, Etc.
Cooking beyond feeding is a family activity of gathering and sharing and providing for (and an expression of love and joy). But in poverty situations it can also be a burden and oppression and responsibility that is not wanted or enjoyed.
Community defined is a family of families with something in common (such as location, neighborhood, city, country, allegiance to a sports team, school, or work place). There is allegiance both to families and communities (such as Borghese, Milanese, Trastaverino). But there is a hierarchy to allegiance (such as family before neighborhood, and brothers and sisters before nephews). When threatened the circles get smaller. As a leader (such as mother, father, school principal, mayor) you have the welfare of your community as your charge. The closer your emotional connection with those you are responsible for, the more passionate (and possibly selfless) your actions taken on their behalf will be. So what does this mean? To be a more committed leader (which might make you more ethical and more principled but not necessarily) you need to feel an emotional connection with those you lead (this corresponds with lessons from my earliest leadership classes where we were told you had to love the servicemembers you lead).
Flipping now to organizational leaders and responsibility to civil society, it stands to reason that if organizational leaders see themselves as part of civil society (and if they love the society of which they are a part) then their actions will more likely be such that they do not harm that society. To the extent that organizational leaders see themselves and / or the organizations they lead to be outside society (or not subject to its constraints) they may feel justified in taking actions or making decisions that are not in the best interests of that society (thereby making them irresponsible to that society).
Stepping back: we are obviously all members of the family of human beings and our large community is bounded by the planet on which we live. But that is an abstract fact that does not have any bearing when we feel our own particular family or community is threatened. This is the shrinking of the circle mentioned earlier. So in order to get the most socially responsible decisions and actions we must have the widest possible circles of family and community. How can we widen these circles? Through shared experiences and outlooks. And one way to share those experiences is through story...
