Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to
learn the maps & the relational leadership practices that will help you form & lead groups in which people bring their full selves into connection utilising differences as essential aspects of collective intelligence and innovation.
WELCOME TO THE
EVOLVING COLLECTIVE LEADERSHIP
ONLINE TRAINING PROGRAM
So that groups can harvest their collective intelligence & heart to truly go forward together.
Imagine every person in your team or group...
Feels a strong sense of belonging, trust & psychological safety to express unique perspectives & talents.
Experiences increased capacity and well-being that emerges through enlivening interactions among all individuals.
Is able to stay in healthy connection & communicate openly with every other member: valuing others, engaging with differences, offering feedback & speaking truth to power.
Contributes to the emergence of synergistic & aligned collective leadership, intelligence and heart- of the group as a whole .
The cost of struggling with complex interpersonal & power dynamics
Whenever groups of people come together, it's inevitable that differences arise.
But without a foundation of trust and open communication, differences become a source of conflict and division, in groups that are stuck, inefficient or fractured.
It shouldn't be like this
It's too common.
Too many people suffer from it.
It doesn't have to be this way.
It's not Rocket Science.
A better way is possible- if you have the maps and practices to do it differently.
We spent years being frustrated & constrained
... by the norms of inauthentic, impersonal communication; and by dynamics of power, authority, and control. Groups fragmented or clung to the status quo.
Relationships were left to chance and differences were suppressed or escalated into conflict. Leadership was siloed and power was held by the privileged few.
Interpersonal dynamics in groups and teams got in the way of getting work done and drained motivation.
Along the way, we discovered there is a better way.
Between us we've spent over 50 years developing a new paradigm of leadership
From our combined experience and study over many years, we incorporated many different methodologies and traditions, developing expertise in interpersonal, relational and group practices.
We have curated and organised our learnings, experimentation, practice, training and consulting expertise–into an easily accessible set of maps and practices in a step-by-step online program for leaders and group facilitators. You will learn to radically transform teams, groups and organisations into highly connected, engaged, effective and collaborative Matrix Leadership Networks[™] and self-organising systems move us beyond hierarchy.
THERE IS A SIMPLE WAY OUT
5 Steps to developing the capacity for
Collective Leadership in your teams/groups
in 4 months
ONLINE TRAINING PROGRAM
1. Develop Groups as Interconnected Systems
Establish a relational infrastructure with person-to-person communication, a high degree of trust, psychological safety, and belonging. Move from experiencing groups as a collection of individuals; to an interconnected set of relationships functioning as a whole (system).
2. Redefine Feedback Culture (Part I) as an Investment
Start with appreciative feedback! Transform the conventional practice of feedback as personal/ critical/ uncomfortable→ to being an investment in sustaining relationships that offers essential data to improve performance and outcomes.
3. Stay in Connection Across Differences
Build the capacity to stay in connection with others –transforming differences from threats that are a source of conflict and division to crucial parts of the collective intelligence. The wisdom of the whole emerges from the synergistic interaction of all individuals.
4. Redefine Feedback Culture (Part II) Growth Happens
Once there is a sufficient healthy relational foundation and people have the capacity to stay in connection with differences→ASK for and offer differentiating feedback–data about the impact of our differences. An essential path to growth and innovation.
5. Distribute Group & Leadership Roles & Perspectives
Differentiate from–and distribute–habitual group and leadership roles that limit individual expression and group intelligence. Reduce amplified and disruptive emotional “charge” by distributing perspectives and feelings. Access emergent, collective intelligence in Service of the Whole.
