The document discusses leadership and organizational development. It makes three key points: 1) Organizations depend on the leadership capacity of all their members, not just formal leaders, in today's complex environment. Everyone needs to learn to lead and follow. 2) True leadership comes from developing self-awareness of one's values and strengths in order to serve a vision one is passionate about. Leaders must first understand themselves before seeking to influence others. 3) Both individuals and organizations progress through levels of development from basic survival needs to serving a higher purpose of making a positive difference in the world. The document provides frameworks for assessing individual and organizational development levels.

Organizations are Living Organisms
• Our health is a function of the
health and functioning of our
cells. Similarly, organizations
depend on all its members.
• Today, we live in a fast changing
and very complex environment.
More than ever, no leader can do
it alone.

Leading and Following
• The success and flourishing of
any organization (and nation)
today depends on the average
capacity for leadership of
everybody, not just the leaders
alone.
• Everybody needs to learn to lead
and follow.

Come Alive
“Your time is limited, so don't waste it
living someone else's life. Don't be
trapped by dogma — which is living
with the results of other people's
thinking. Don't let the noise of others'
opinions drown out your own inner voice.
And most important, have the courage to
follow your heart and intuition. They
somehow already know what you truly
want to become.”― Steve Jobs
