Leading from the Roots: Nature Inspired Leadership Lessons

While it’s common to think of companies as mechanistic organizations—successful organizations are often described as a “well-oiled machine”—embracing a view of a company as a living system can help leaders better understand how their organizations function. In this course, Dr. Kathleen Allen, author of Leading from the Roots: Nature Inspired Leadership Lessons for Today’s World, explains how living systems evolve with information and feedback and why applying the same strategic sharing of information in your organization can help develop the organization and the individuals who work there. She also discusses the value of applying the Seventh Generation Principle, a concept that urges the current generation to live and work for the benefit of the seventh generation into the future.
