Dear Lynne

I've attached a slide deck that I developed about 18 months ago, for use
with our leadership team and with our key talent group.  I also
presented it at a public seminar on Leadership.  The fractals on slides
two and  four are background to a discussion about complexity and the
beauty that can be perceived in complexity, as well as the fact that
complexity can be 'zoomed' down to smaller and smaller (therefore more
manageable) components, yet still remain complex  and therefore
beautiful.  There is quite a bit of Nick Owen in this, some story
telling, and my own concept "response-ability" - the ability to be
responsible, take accountability and be responsive.  

I end with a story telling game ; you can script this any way you wish
and use it in many different circumstances.  The idea is for one person
(usually the Facilitator) to start the story with a carefully designed
opening paragraph, after which the 'ball' of the story is passed from
mouth to mouth, whit each version adding their contribution.  The story
keeps changing and develops a great deal of richness as it moves to its
conclusion.  The Facilitator can choose to end it herself, or let it
conclude within the group.  (Best done is a talking circle, rather than
in a room with  a table or 'cinema; setting. 

I hope this is of some use to you.

Regards


Kate

   1. taking personal responsibility/leadership (Lynne Gilliland-Garber)
  
 


----------------------------------------------------------------------

I would like to include a component of taking personal 
responsibility/leadership into an upcoming workshop with a nonprofit.   
My goal is to get learning and conversation going around doing something
about work place problems as opposed to complaining, talking to others 
and other victim perspectives.   If you have ideas, have done something 
similar please share them.  What are good questions to ask?  I am stuck.

Thank you


Lynne
