dancing, meditating we reach the field

powerful• Reflections of the

nature• For the good of the

whole

• Evolutionary leadership is an ever changing flux of interconnections that seek to intentionally create the conditions for the emergence of a better future~ quote of Peter Merry of the Wisdom University

Page 43: Evolutionary leadership for sustainability

Evolutionary leadership

• The embodiment of systems being

• Creating new realities• Learning how to shape

the future• Creating a domain to

deepen understanding of reality and participating

• No longer victims of circumstances but: participating in creating new circumstances

Page 44: Evolutionary leadership for sustainability

multilevelness

• Dabrowski • Systems theory• Ontwikkelingsnivo,s• Emotionele

ontwikkeling• Ego centrisme naar

altruisme naar proces van uiteenvallen

• Gaat samen met een innerlijk conflict, dat is normaal = gezond proces

• Positive desintegration

Page 45: Evolutionary leadership for sustainability

Syntony compas:

Page 46: Evolutionary leadership for sustainability

Syntony conversation• Coming together~ turning

together~suspension~ internal listening accepting difference mutual trust building~ dialogue~building common grond~confronting each others assumptions, reveal feeling~

• Metalogue~thinking and feeling as a group~ building shared assumptions culture~

• 4 practices of syntony• No discussions or

advocacy = competitions & conviction- no dialetic = examing opposites~no debate = resolving by logic= beating down

Page 47: Evolutionary leadership for sustainability

Concept of Syntony:

• Listening to the rhythm of change learning how to play our own melody in ways that harmonize with the larger piece = zingeving wie/wat is er nog meer?

• It is possible to elicit harmoneous patterns of change in ourselves, in others, in our broader environment

• Purposefully and consciously & intentionally

Page 48: Evolutionary leadership for sustainability

Tune into useful frequencies• We can learn to find and

create resonant processes with the dynamics of those things we interact.

• In its highest form, syntony becomes a natural way of being and becoming with the world and is effortless, spontaneous, as breathing

• We can re-learn of them how to live as a system of syntony. Our mission, our identity and who I am?

• It is the ability to read the environment, to listen to messages, to pay attention with hightened sensitivity, this confered evolutionary advantage on creatures whose survival needs were based on inter connection and inter dependence

Page 49: Evolutionary leadership for sustainability

Action:• Changing course• Orientating yourself• Navigating through chaos• Re orienting to

sustainability patterns of change

• Re-aligning with sustainable processes of transformation are challenges!

• Strong sense of syntony• Ability to engage in

complex learning• Through effort and

practice we can learn to navigate in any of 3 ways :

• 1.computer, navigational technologies

• A you are here technology, simple and easy to use
