If You Till It, They Will Come: Nurturing Collective Leadership

IISC Senior Associates Curtis Ogden and Gibrán Rivera explored stories of and practices for creating the conditions to unleash leader-full momentum that embodies and leads to the social change we seek. Given the complexity of the issues we face and the diversity of perspectives in our various systems, it has been recognized that we cannot rely on individual, expert, or command-and-control leadership to move us forward. We must unleash more robust and adaptive collective intelligence. In the webinar, Curtis and Gibrán shared their thoughts about how to create the conditions for emergent and collective leadership to move us in more just and life-affirming directions.
