“If you want a plan implemented,a company organized, work
redesigned or many problems solved at once, get as many key stakeholders as possible in one room and ask them to work on
the task together.Use a wide-angle lens. Help people find meaning in their
workplace. It’s not the‘best way’ …it’s quite simply the
only way.”Marvin Weisbord,

• 79% anticipate more complexity ahead• Innovation & creativity are the most
important leadership qualities• We must take more calculated risks,
find new ideas and keep innovating• We must create solutions with our
customers (internal and external) and integrate them into our core processes

The Ceiling of Complexity
Growth occurs in stages. Within eachstage there comes to a point where it’s not possible to base further growth upon existing knowledge, skills, attitudes, structures, staffing, money, procedures, technology...

It’s hard to plot a rational course in
an irrational environment. So
don’t be blinded by reason or logic. Be ever vigilant. Take
a nap and you could wake up like

A leader is a person

a place that you wouldn’t go to by yourself

With passion you overcome insurmountable odds and obstacles
- you become unstoppable.”

We Thrive on Learning
The brain is hardwired to enable routine but it has an innate desire to create novel connections
Ask questions to stimulate learning
When we ‘learn’ the brain releases neurotransmitters like adrenaline:we get a RUSH
Insight is personal and measurable;hardwire with repeated attention

“An organization is a system, with a logic of it’s own, and all the weight of tradition and inertia. The deck is stacked in favor of the tried and proven way
of doing things and against the taking of risks and striking out in a new
direction.”John D. Rockefeller III

to that reality.

Change Resistance?
What looks like resistance may be a lack
of clarity, exhaustion, threat or the situation.
Don’t assume the reason and don’t take it
personally.

“The ability to constructively face the tensions of opposing ideas, and, instead
of choosing one at the expense of the other, generate creative resolution in the form of a new idea that contains
elements of the opposing ideas, but is superior to each.”
Roger Martin,The Opposable Mind

Integrative Thinking
Take a broad view ofwhat might be important - scan
Search for creative resolution of tension rather than accept unpleasant trade offs

Don’t settle for either/or solutions: become an “and” organization
Engage a broad range of perspectives
Be a “can-do” thinker Don’t get rule-bound
Creation Not Compromise

Diversity is the source of innovation & long-term adaptability.
Diversity is challenging!
Heterogeneous groups are more adaptive than homogeneous groups.

Need for Safety
Brain only has friends or foes: different circuit for each
Changing a pattern/process activates a threat response
Threats zap energy & decrease productivity, accuracy & focus

Engagement:When a person feels a
heightened sense of emotional connection –
a connection that influences the person to exert greater

Keep People Engaged
Curiosity arises from gaps in knowledge
The simple act of committingto an answer makes peoplemore engaged & curious
If we believe we know the answer, we don’t keep looking
