The Call for Deeper Leadership“What counts is not what
leaders do and how they do it but their interior condition, the inner place from which they operate or the source from which all their actions originate.”
Otto Sharmer
Need for an inner shift from fixing or fighting the “old” to sensing an emerging future possibility.

Call and Crisis of our Time
Crisis Call
Crisis reveals the dying of old social structures built on pre-modern, traditional and modern industrial forms of thinking and operating.
Call is to a shift to a new form of presence and power that grows spontaneously from groups of people with a different quality of thinking, conversing and collective action which operates from a real future possibility.

Evolution of Mental Models“State Centric” –
hierarchy and control“Free Market” –
markets and competition
“Social Market” – networks and negotiation
“Co-creative” – seeing and acting from the whole

Stages of Leadership Development
Stage 1 – Self centric leaders: ego, position
Stage 2 – Achieving leaders: conform to & enforce established rules
Stage 3 – Servant Leaders: serve & develop others
Stage 4 – Renewing Leaders: breakthrough thinking, creating future

What is needed in renewing leadership today is the ability to hold and evolve our collective attention at the same rate at which reality around us keeps changing.
We need to develop new collective leadership mechanisms that allow a diverse constellation of players to connect, co-sense, and co-create.
This calls for deepening levels of awareness and avoiding the blind spots which keep us from seeing the future possibilities.
Collective Leadership
![Page 18: Convention 2014 From Source by Jaworski and Leading from the Emerging Future by Sharmer and Kaufer](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649f0d5503460f94c22027/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
We cannot transform systems unless we transform the quality of attention people apply to their actions individually and collectively.
Quality of results produced by any system depends on the quality of awareness from which people in a system operate.
Form follows consciousness.
Leaders and Transformation
![Page 19: Convention 2014 From Source by Jaworski and Leading from the Emerging Future by Sharmer and Kaufer](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649f0d5503460f94c22027/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Preparation – inner transformation, contemplation
Igniting passion – commit to pursue inquiry on the edges
Observing and Immersing – seeing with fresh eyes
Letting go – mental models, mindsets, world views
Indwelling and Illumination – surrendering to the Self (identity in God) and Work (Vocation/Mission)
Crystallizing and PrototypingTesting and Verifying – usable programs/
initiatives

Hold space for transforming fields of conversation: from debate to dialogue to collective creativity
Strengthen sources of presencing to avoid destructive dynamics of absensing

From Spectators to Stewards
Stewardship is a state of being where people see the whole and their role in it and accept responsibility for their role and the whole.
