How Frederic Laloux’s ‘Reinventing Organizations’ points the way towards more Conscious Leadership

Post by on

Reinventing Organizations is a great read, a breath of fresh air (and sometimes a mindbend) about how the new and emerging forms of organisations go about their business. It serves not only as a compelling story, but also alters our paradigm as we read it. That is some effect. There are several clues within it that point to who the leaders of these (Teal) kinds of organisations need to be, which hints at an evolved form of leadership. Frederic describes three principles around which their operations cluster: Self management Frederic’s point: Hierarchies don’t work in complex organisations because all the complexity is pushed to the top awaiting decisions. As we know from other writers (e.g. […]

Why Conscious Leaders Are Material to the Sustainability of a Business

Post by on

Post by Neela Bettridge http://www.neelabettridge.com/ There is no denying that the changing global context is increasingly more chaotic and unpredictable: Violence, environmental degradation, food shortages, global consumerism, global warming and increasing gaps between rich and poor.

Never before has the interconnectedness and interdependence of humanity, the environment and our planet been so apparent. The global financial market crisis of 2008 demonstrated this reality. Our choices, small and large, individually and collectively affect each other continually. Our decisions have repercussions globally as we increasingly discover how intertwined we are in […]

Tales of Conscious Leadership

Post by on

Facts, figures, budgets, outcomes…so far, so normal in the business meetings and leadership training sessions I typically sit in on.  Heads are full of data, obstacles and concrete mountains to climb, speedily, in the quest for running companies successfully in an ever more competitive and ‘squeezed’ environment.  Bodies become, as Pete Hamill of Embodied Leadership writes, simply vehicles to move our brains around from one meeting to the next.

Plate too full for changing your leadership paradigm?

How would that paradoxical head-space feel for you? At the current rate of change, if we think we are in a pickle this year with our fullness on life’s plate, […]
