Robin Ryde identifies six dominant thinking habits that shape social thinking and leadership: deficit thinking, rational thinking, common sense thinking, binary thinking, equity thinking, and sticky thinking. Ryde provides examples of how overreliance on some habits, like deficit thinking and rational thinking, can be insufficient and come at a cost. Leaders must be aware of the thinking habits they and others deploy to have productive thinking conversations and lead change.
This document provides a manifesto and overview of Group Partners' approach to delivering strategic transformation and achieving lasting impact. It emphasizes the need for an inspired vision, decision quality, a shared roadmap, and optimal platforms delivered through collective effort and strong leadership. Lasting change requires commitment, expertise, and understanding what it takes for change to stick across all dimensions. Any transformation requires conscious will, a clear direction, focused commitment from the workforce, and the capabilities and resources to implement changes. The future belongs to leaders who challenge conventions and continually explore new contexts with curiosity to manage increasing complexity.
Total place a practitioner's guide to doing things differently30088
This document provides an introduction to the foundational theories behind the Total Place initiative in local government. The key ideas discussed include:
1. Total Place recognizes that human systems are complex and adaptive, requiring messy solutions rather than simple fixes.
2. Different viewpoints and cultural theories should be considered to develop diverse solutions for "wicked problems".
3. A focus on public value, not just costs or services, is needed to truly serve citizens. Outcomes, strategic goals, and operational capacity must be considered together.
4. Leadership should facilitate new thinking to address challenges in innovative ways. Total Place aims to bring different players and perspectives together to generate new ideas.
This document reflects on leadership development based on conversations with over 1200 executives. It discusses [1] the dynamics of business including shifting powers, uncertainty, and a focus on results; [2] the work and life of executives which involves strong involvement, seeking balance, and super information; and [3] the world of executive development as a profession which faces a crowded arena, broken promises, and questions about new approaches. It concludes that executive development is about performance improvement through initiatives focused on results and challenges faced day to day. Leaders operate as architects and facilitators offer expertise in learning processes.

1. The document discusses the concept of the "incomplete leader" who understands their strengths and weaknesses and engages leadership throughout the organization rather than trying to be a "complete leader" who is flawless in all areas.
2. It describes four key leadership capabilities - sensemaking, relating, visioning, and inventing - that are required for effective distributed leadership. No single leader will excel at all four equally.
3. The best leaders create an environment where these four capabilities are distributed across people in the organization, leveraging different strengths to move in a shared direction.
The document discusses the idea of "development" as a pattern or virus that has spread widely around the world. It argues that this constant push for changes, innovations, and solutions has gone too far and does not necessarily lead to happiness. While development was meant to ease burdens and bring progress, it has instead made people restless and unable to truly "be" as they are constantly focused on "becoming" something else through constant changes. This pattern of non-stop activity may be an opiate to distract people but does not enable truly enjoying life in the present moment.

The snail moves slowly through a wet night in the grass, leaving a bright trail behind. The narrator does not know what motivates the snail or what its emotions may be. If the narrator were to later see the thin broken white line across the ground left by the snail, they would never have imagined the slow and deliberate progress it took to create that trail.

The snail pushes through a green night, slowly making its way across the grass and earth. Its movement is described as deliberate and purposeful, though it is unknown what exactly drives its progress. Any traces of its passage would be subtle, like a thin broken trail. Its fury or passion, if any, is slow but persistent. The poem reflects on the snail's mysterious and methodical journey through a nightscape.

Pathwise Leadership Development Program - BrochureWorthwhile
Pathwise Leadership is a development program that teaches advanced leadership skills drawn from depth psychology and neuroscience. It aims to transform leaders and consultants by strengthening their abilities to foster cultures of results, innovation, and high-level thinking. The program identifies five levels of leadership development and focuses on the highest level, Level IV. It comprises monthly sessions over a year that cover ten essential skills using case studies and practice. These skills help leaders perceive underlying dynamics, motivate others intrinsically, and apply systems and archetypal thinking to complex problems. Completing the program certifies participants in Cultural Genesis consulting to help organizations achieve higher performance through improved thinking.
Abstract: Public Lecture Da Vinci
Dr Rica Viljoen
The theory that will underpin the public lecture deals with the complex problem of how individuals, groups, organisations and societies handle changing life conditions. Thinking systems in people, organisations and society help us to understand the adaptive capability of changing environmental conditions. These conditions in the environment study the following:
• Worldview: messaging and pattern recognition
• Degree of complexity: exiting or emerging codes of thinking
• Command and control: the inherent flexibility
• Organising Principles: the intensity of the condition
• Elaborating stream implications: the view and implications of the past, present and future time line
• Potential: the functionality or health of the ecology
Insights gained from a meta-study on leadership will be presented. These insights lead to the publication of the book Organisational Change and Development. Multi-cultural research conducted in 42 different countries, with more than 100 000 participants, will be shared. These ethnographical insights will be interwoven with the Interesting findings from various Da Vinci PhD-studies to present a rich narrative on the human condition. The purpose of the lecture is to uniquely offers the application of diversity of thought and contexual understanding in various geo-political, industry domains organisational spaces.
The stories that will be shared, was lived by leaders in multi-cultural settings. The organisational and societal development interventions that will be described, was facilitated by Rica and/or her co-researchers. One such case will deal with the successful implementation of co-determination – a unique way of partnering between workers, management and trade unions in an effort to optimise stakeholder relationships and conduct sustainable business in South Africa and other emerging economies. An effort will be made to present enough rich narratives for the participant to be triggered, inspired and even moved to action to make the world a better place for all.
The following books will be available after the lecture:
• Organisational Change and Development (Viljoen, 2015)
• Employee Engagement in a South African Context (Nienaber and Martins, 2016)
• Organisational Diagnostics (Martins, Martins and Viljoen, 2017)

This document discusses frameworks for leading organizational change, including positive deviancy and the diffusion of innovation. It outlines a positive deviancy process that defines problems, determines common practices, discovers positive outliers, and designs activities to expand successful solutions. The diffusion of innovation model is also summarized, explaining how different groups adopt changes at different rates from innovators to laggards. Finally, an 8-step organizational change process is presented that establishes urgency, forms a coalition, develops a vision, launches pilots, communicates the vision, consolidates improvements, widens support, and embeds changes.
This document outlines a thesis hypothesis that applying disruptive strategies to problem solving can interrupt habitual thinking and create space for fresh interpretations. The hypothesis is that forcing interruptions to the problem solving process allows for new questions, analysis and understandings to emerge. When exploration during these interruptions is authentic, solutions are more interesting and reveal the creator's perspective. The thesis will examine methodologies for cultivating creativity through techniques that change concepts and perceptions to generate new ideas.
This document discusses leadership for emergence through a living systems lens. It explores how self-organization and emergence occur when independent agents interact in a dynamic way to create higher-order responses. Leaders can foster conditions for self-organization by mentoring individuals, fostering interactions and shared learning, distributing power and control, and articulating shared values and vision. This allows for organizational capacity to develop that is self-organizing, adaptive, innovative and flexible.
This document provides an overview of a workshop on intentional leadership and interpersonal effectiveness. The workshop contains two parts, with Part One focusing on personal and intentional leadership using the Intentional Leadership Model. This model examines a person's vision, values, self-awareness, and balance.

Part Two will describe models for effective interpersonal communication and understanding assumptions. The full workshop is designed to help participants reflect on their own leadership abilities and communication styles.

Wiley, summarizes the textbook chapter to Enlist Others as noted below:
Enlist Others
The authors relate the story of a leader who discovered how essential it is to find out what motivates his team members. He says that the more you know about the people you work with, the more committed you become to each other’s success and the more you realize that you have similar hopes and aspirations for what you are working on. A company is like an engine: “We cannot move forward if any of the cogs are not working.”
Develop A Shared Sense Of Destiny
A leader’s vision is not enough. Members of the organization must understand, accept, and commit to it. Leadership is a dialogue, not a monologue. Leaders must engage constituents in conversations about their lives, hopes, and dreams, to develop a shared sense of destiny, an ideal and unique image of the future for the common good.
Inspire a Shared Vision is the least frequently applied of The Five Practices—people feel the most uncomfortable with it, and only one in ten considers herself inspiring. Yet even when they do not consider themselves inspiring, people nearly always become emotionally expressive when talking about their visions of the future.
The assumption that the process of inspiring a shared vision is somehow mystical or supernatural inhibits people, making them feel that they have to be something special to be inspiring. But what is necessary is believing in the vision and developing the skills for communicating it with commitment and enthusiasm, just as Martin Luther King did on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on August 28, 1963.
To inspire their audience as Dr. King did, leaders need to practice three essentials to Enlist Others: Listen deeply, discover and appeal to a common purpose, and give life to their vision by communicating expressively.
Listen Deeply to Others
Leaders need to strengthen their ability to sense the purpose in others. By knowing their constituents, listening to them, and taking their advice, they can give voice to their feelings and show them how their own needs and interests will be served by enlisting in a common cause. Listening is crucial because leaders can’t do it alone—they don’t have all the ideas or all the answers.
A key characteristic of leaders who won the prestigious Malcolm Baldrige award is impressive listening skills. Leaders listen carefully for quiet whisperings and subtle cues that give them a sense of what people want, dream about, and value.
To truly hear what constituents want means spending unstructured time--having coffee, breakfast, lunch, breaks--with constituent groups to find out what’s going on with them and what they hope to achieve fr.
