A meeting was held with each of the two interview teams after all interviews were completed on December 10, 2010. The project coordinator provided each team member a Theme Identification Report procedure to guide their review of answers to each interview question across all five of their interviews (including the earlier pilot interview with their team partner). Then in February, 2010, the project coordinator and senior project adviser led a half day video-recorded seminar for each of the two interview teams. Using their individual Theme Identification Reports, team members identified and discussed things learned from the 100 interviews that were germane to the project’s stated vision and purposes. Thereafter, the project coordinator and senior project adviser prepared a written draft of the Phase Two sage leader interview experience. The draft was reviewed by members of the two interview teams before the final narrative was completed.
