Knowledge-in-action and timely action

How can we transform individually and collectively, and how can become good leaders of ourselves and others? Bill has studied individual and organisational development for many decades and developed a compelling theory of "action inquiry": how to continually progress our ability to reflect on ourselves, our relationships and our actions to expand our potentiality. Unique, radical and thought-provoking: a session definitely not to be missed!

The Leaders for Humanity series is part of the #goodorganisations project (for further info see https://goodorganisations.com) and intends to offer a critical dialogue with "wise" thought and action leaders related to key questions in the area of individual, organisational and societal transformation. Some of the participants in Season 1 are renowned researchers in the area of business ethics such as Alejo Sison, Alicia Hennig, Andre Habisch and Blaine Fowers; organisation and management scholars such as Henry Mintzberg, Stefano Zamagni, Bill Torbert, Bruno Frey, Haridimos Tsoukas, Paul Adler, Emanuele Quintarelli – and leadership thinkers like Bill Torbert, Carol Sanford and Simon Western.

During our interview we always examine three critical questions:
a) What is good? What is a good society?
b) How can we craft good organisations?
c) How can we as leaders or organisational citizens enable positive change?

Our main intent is to develop critical thinking and deeper reflection by bringing together multiple perspectives - across philosophy, psychology, sociology, management science, complexity - in a shared inquiry into the nature of good organisations and a good society.

We publish an exclusive set of recommended materials to the followers of the inquiry prior to each episode on the Good Organisations LinkedIn page and on https://goodorganisations.com/leadersforhumanity.

In addition, we publish opinion pieces and further reflections on our Medium page at https://medium.com/@goodorganisations.
