Good Leadership for All – A Fundamental Need of Global Citizens

Good leadership is much needed around the world, not only at governmental levels and in business organisations, but also in all other contexts, cultures, and at all societal levels. Indeed, good leadership is required universally. Whilst much is written and spoken about good leadership, global citizens would argue as to whether they experience good leadership in their daily lives and livelihoods; many would argue that they have little or no influence on who their leaders are or how leadership is practised. Antipathy towards incumbent leaders and to outdated leadership practices is clearly evident as concerns about bad leadership contribute to citizens taking action around the world – ranging from the demonstrations in many European countries to the revolutions of the ‘Arab Spring’ and far beyond.

The cost of bad leadership, the resulting citizen actions, and dictatorial responses, is counted in numerous lives and livelihoods lost on a daily basis. Consequently, there is an urgent need to develop and implement practical leadership instruments that go beyond the worthy discussions about what good leadership means or should be. New leadership instruments must be focused on transforming the fundamental practice/development of leadership, must deliver tangible value in all contexts, cultures, societal levels, and must positively impact the lives and livelihoods of global citizens. Transforming leadership instruments should not only focus on the few in leadership positions, but primarily the instruments should be for the benefit of and be of practical use by the many global citizens – so that they can transform leadership practices locally and globally.

The urgent need to have more good leaders, to develop good leadership practices, and to liberate leadership learning around the world has stimulated the planning for a ‘Good Leadership for All’ (GLfA) Day; this will be held in London on 25 October 2011. The GLfA Day will enable current and emerging leaders in business/public/third sectors, leadership practitioners/scholars/educators, representatives of global NGOs and governments, and global citizens who are interested in transforming leadership, to come together and contribute to innovative, universal, and transdisciplinary projects and programs for transforming leadership around the world. Participants will not only discuss current and future challenges, but also leadership innovations and solutions will be presented and considered, and action plans will be developed through facilitated workshops – all in order to accelerate, develop and implement the much needed transformations in leadership practice, development and knowledge.

Integral Spiritual Experience Year 3
Awaken the Fire: Harnessing the Power of Your Evolutionary Creativity
December 28th, 2011 – January 1st, 2012
Asilomar Retreat Center in Pacific Grove, California

The theme this year is evolutionary creativity and the focus is on finding and unleashing the sparks of your unique creative expressions. In this third year, we will explore the call to evolutionary creativity: its source, its enactment, and its fulfillment as our own unique gift to the world. We will identify and unfold the four major stages of evolutionary creativity as it manifests in individuals and in the larger Integral community. We’ll look at how creativity arises when we begin to disengage from the mind–yet requires the skills that only a disciplined mind can cultivate. We’ll explore how creativity appears to a visual artist, a musician, a writer, or any other artistic pursuit. We’ll discover the many facets of personal and collective creativity, and look at the way creativity manifests in the evolution of consciousness itself. Most importantly, we will explore the great human act of self-creation, in which the human being reveals and evolves his or her own deepest, unique divine essence.

Co-sponsored with the Goodwin College of Professional Studies at Drexel University
Facilitated by Peter Senge and other leading practitioners of Sustainability Leadership.

http://www.solonline.org/announcements/item?item_id=21461147

Sustainability is not a problem to be solved. It is a future to be created. This workshop is for leaders and teams of all sorts who are passionate about developing sustainable strategies and practices in organizations, institutions, industries and communities across all three sectors (private, non-profit and government.) It is a synthesis of core organizational learning disciplines – systems thinking, mental model and collaborative inquiry, personal mastery and building shared vision – and the practical know-how developed within the SoL Sustainability Consortium over the past decade, much of which is captured in Peter Senge’s new book The Necessary Revolution. The stories and practices described in the book are the foundation for this workshop.
