Overview:
Growing an Agile Leadership Culture from the Inside Out takes an alternative perspective–one in which we view mindset and culture not from the outside in, but from the inside out. From this perspective, we are interested in the inner capabilities that determine how people think; how they make sense of complex situations around them; the beliefs and values they hold; people’s ability to hold perspectives that are different from their own; their ability (or lack thereof) to relate with others in ways that leave those others empowered and enabled.
But, even more than this, we want to know how we might help ourselves and others grow those capabilities. Again, not from the outside in–the world of processes and structures or even behaviors; but rather from the inside out–from the world of sensemaking and consciousness, and from there out into the world of relationships and, beyond that, out into the world of organizational environments.
Evolvagility synthesizes a human technology from a variety of fields that include adult developmental psychology, relationship systems, executive coaching, and organization development. It leads us toward a deeper understanding of the anatomy of human sensemaking, and how it impacts people’s capacity for effective and creative action. And it provides a practical methodology with which we might increase the capacity of that inner sensemaking in order to help ourselves, and others, make sense of the complexity and ambiguity of the situations we in ourselves in as players in 21st Century organizational life
