Building Leadership Networks
I have devoted my professional life to building networks of leaders. These are leaders who are already passionate about what they do. Committed people. Skilled and brilliant. My job is to bring them together and help them turn towards the power of their collective intelligence. The work hinges on the depth of authentic relationships that these leaders build with one another.
The idea is to help them re-connect with their own sense of meaning and purpose. We want these leaders to access their interior resources, connect with one another, and become better able to turn towards the challenges of our time. Becoming a network gives them a greater sense of what it takes to thrive in times of VUCA - volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity.
Check out this 3-minute clip for an outline of my thinking.
Talking about networks! I am thrilled to tell you about The Voice Lab! It is a fellowship for leaders of color who are articulating new ideas and creating new forms. It is a yearlong cohort experience in developing your unique creative voice.
Can you imagine the sort of network that is being born?! Check it out! Let your people know about it. The Voice Lab is hosted by my friends at Edge Leadership (an R+D platform for social change at NPQ).
