What is our role as scholars in creating meaningful organizations and a healthy world?
We are convening two interconnected sessions at the AOM to nourish dialogue on this important question.
[1] Highly interactive PDW on Leadership for a Healthy World - SATURDAY 10:15 am -12:45 pm Marriott, Northeast Marquis Ballroom.
Otto Scharmer, Robert Quinn, Susan Skjei, and I will create an atmosphere that invites you to explore what is meaningful to you with regard to societal health! This PDW highlights how shifting the inner place from which you operate as a leader so you connect to the sources of your own self (your own humanity, your own creativity) is key to transformative change. We focus particularly on how we create meaning for ourselves and others. What makes work feel meaningful? Meaningless? What is the role of leaders in this-and your role? The session will alternate between short talks by these distinguished speaker and breakouts that allow everyone to participate actively.
[2] Go deeply into the thinking behind our new ILA book CREATIVE SOCIAL CHANGE: Leadership for a Healthy World, which builds on thinking by Otto Scharmer and Robert E. Quinn (who will speak) as well as Meg Wheatley, Ed Schein, and Peter Senge about the nature of organizational health. Showcase symposium: Leading Meaningfully - MONDAY 11:30 am, Marriott, Grand Ballroom Salon E, with Otto Scharmer, Robert Quinn, Riane Eisler, Samuel Wilson, and myself.This symposium fosters dialogue among these noted thinkers on the interconnections among leadership, sustainability, the long-term viability of the planet, organizational development, and how these depend on meaningful organizations. Brought together, these arenas of research and action can influence events globally and contribute to creating a healthy society. The distinguished speakers are respected internationally for their diverse contributions to thought and action related to creating such a healthy world. While all are contributors to our new book, the symposium brings them together for a first time in person to discuss the interconnections among their different perspectives and experience.
