Our habits of thinking, acting, working and leading have not prepared us to engage in complexity with grace, agility and imagination. We experience surprise, delays, unexpected complications, and unpredicted outcomes when we try to apply “business as usual” approaches, giving us a sense that we are unprepared.
Leading at the Edge is a collaborative 5-day programme that is anything but “business as usual”.
This programme invites you to step out of your usual/normal ways of seeing and engaging, exposing you to a range of perceiving, framing and knowing. You will then step back into your world to tackle wicked problems with an expanded repertoire of ways to engage, understand and act.
We will combine practices from the arts, business, philosophy, ecology and climate science, along with models of deep collaboration we are prototyping.
Over five days we will engage with the complexities of places through a short, intensive enquiry focusing on the area around the Learning Planet Institute. Together we will explore different ways of knowing that will reveal, challenge, and add to our habits of noticing, thinking, acting and collaborating.
