Vi behöver en ny typ av ledarskap - extraordinärt ledarskap. Det innebär att leda så att alla kan leda. Min goda vän och kollega Birgitt Williams skriver om detta i sin nya bok The Genuine Contact Way: Nourishing a Culture of Leadership. Hon har precis startat en internationell turné där hon lär oss hur vi kan främja en sådan kultur för ledarskap som våra organisationer behöver för att vi som arbetar i dem ska må bra, kunna utvecklas och arbeta från vår potential.
Här är hennes egna ord om första workshopen på turnén:
Last evening Ward and I launched the promotion tour of The Genuine
Contact Way at an event in Durham, North Carolina sponsored by two women who
are deeply immersed in Dynamic Facilitation and find our Genuine Contact work
to be wonderfully in alignment and complimentary to their learning and their
beliefs. We
explored beliefs and their impact on leadership, and introduced the five
beliefs upon which the Genuine Contact way of working and living is based. There were so many great
breakthroughs in the three hour workshop and those breakthroughs affect the
world. Some comments in the closing circle included ‘I now commit to taking
leadership of my life-I have given lip service to this for a long time and only
now realize that I don’t lead my life and it is time to do so’; ‘in theory, we
believe that leadership is in everyone and we need to lead our organizations
accordingly—in practice, we don’t follow our beliefs of what is true—it is time
to bring our beliefs and our actions into alignment’. So, we had a great
beginning, and I am thrilled that there are many more opportunities coming up
to stimulate thinking and choices. Next stop in the tour is Little Rock,
Arkansas, USA.
Blessings to all,
Birgitt
