The Event - Do Lectures
It will be, in the proper sense of the word, a remarkable weekend. The mix of speakers will be as eclectic as ever— from business to technology, from sport to design, from saving the planet to saving time, from the famous to the unknown, from the inspirational to the downright practical. At The Do Lectures you’ll gain practical tools, new ideas, and a different point of view. Speakers talk about their lives, how they think, what they’ve changed, or even what they hope to change. We hold the lectures at fforest Farm in Cilgerran, between the Teifi Gorge and Teifi Marshes Nature Reserve. You’ll be sleeping in furnished tents on raised wooden decks, with space to sit out and take in the view.

Where have I been? Where am I going? Last year brought Engaging Emergence: Turning Upheaval into Opportunity into publication. The book brings to fruition years of pursuing a quest to understand the deeper patterns at the heart of the emergent change practices that I have found so powerful in enabling diverse, even conflicted people to discover answers to the complex issues they face.

Whatever we give energy to, we give life to. For example, if we (even unintentionally) infuse negative energy, the brain reacts a certain way that reinforces a more unconstructive environment. Another more positive example is that if we focus on positive reinforcement of effort, process, and learning, we can create a growth mindset. As a leader responsible for developing leaders, I find this notion of leveraging energy for improved results intriguing. The statement implies purpose and intent, as well as ability for leaders to shift mindsets and create more positive outcomes.
Maintaining Physical, Social and Mental Fitness for Peak Performance - Tim Tobin - Harvard Business Review
Robert Kegan is a Harvard psychologist whose developmental model of increasing self-complexity builds upon the work of the famous Swiss child psychologist, Jean Piaget. In his presentation Kegan briefly described his work looking at how the subject-object relationship complexifies during the course of human cognitive development before turning to a larger discussion about the difference between the words: evolution, complexity, ontogeny, and development. Kegan began by noting that Piaget actually called himself not a "child psychologist" but a "genetic epistemologist," because his interest was in studying the origin, process, and development of how humans know the world. Building upon more than 80 years of accumulated research in the field of developmental psychology, Kegan summarized the incremental process of increasing complexity of the subject-object relationship, which he calls The Five Orders of Increasing Mental Complexity:

This piece is the third installment in a six-part series on leadership character by Col. Eric Kail. We’ve all had leaders who are really taken with their image in the mirror, so impressed by the power and influence they seemingly wield.

First, leadership is more than accomplishing a goal or mission.

The question often leads the imagination to extreme examples such as rushing into a burning building without hesitation in order to save someone. And it’s easy to assume that someone simply has that ability to be courageous or they don’t. Yet not only is the example flawed, the subsequent assumption is flawed. Let’s make the question more relevant. Would you speak up for a coworker if your boss were speaking inappropriately about them, or is that something you just pretend you would do? Most of us overestimate our courage, just as we do many other attributes so vital to maintaining a positive self-image.
