In traditional societies, a village was often built around a “commons,” a public space in which the shared life of the community took place. In today’s interdependent and complex world, the new commons includes diverse cultures and a wide variety of distinct institutions, as well as the oceans, the air, seeds, forests, water, and cyberspace. It is global in scope, yet personal in impact.
Leadership today requires the ability to see patterns in complex systems, the interdependence of diverse communities, and morally ambiguous challenges. We can no longer survive by functioning as separate individuals or independent organizations. The art of leadership requires a connective imagination, an informed conscience, and practiced competence.
The Powers of Leadership retreat series convenes a diverse cohort of people across strategic fields to gain perspective on the currents of change moving in these times, to develop new insight, and to strengthen their skills and commitment to work on behalf of a more just, sustainable, and prosperous world. Join with colleagues from across sectors - business, media, government, education, health, law, the arts, environment, science and technology, religion, philanthropy - to gain perspective, develop fresh insights, nourish your inner life, hone your skills, deepen your confidence, and strengthen your commitment to the common good.
Led by Craig Fleck and Christie Lynk, with Diana Gale, Kurt Hoelting, Larry Daloz & Sharon Parks
