Complexity toolbox

One of the biggest struggles a leader has in a complex, changing world is encouraging and aligning people towards an unknown future. Here are the best ideas we've found for communicating in uncertain and complex times--in four minutes or less!


Tipping into the light 
Jennifer has been traveling the pathways of her ancestors who courageously embarked on journeys across the ocean and into the unknown. How do we know when it is time to leave behind our old lives to create something new? Jennifer offers her assessment that perhaps the time is now. The place? We make that together. Come read more to join the journey.

Learning from the World Cup 
 
World cup fever has Zafer in its grip. The strategy of the players is not really far from the strategy of all of us in our lives: Do we play to win? Or do we play so that we don't lose? How can you learn about yourself and your leadership from thinking about the Beautiful Game?

Keith too has been inspired by the World Cup as a complex adaptive system. Come enjoy the ways the patterned, but not predictable world of sport gives insight into complex systems everywhere.
