Diversity and Resilience in Complexity

Lucille Greeff hosts Sharon Shakung for the WorldsView OD Talk on 17 June 2020
Diversity in society and in organisations is not a new phenomenon. Neither is resilience. While both seem to have taken center stage in conversations and dialogues in recent times, they are age-old occurrences and so is the connection between them. As concepts and in practice, diversity and resilience are intricately linked as parts of the complex, adaptive systems we live and work in every day.  Much of our effectiveness as individuals and organisations hangs off our understanding of diversity and resilience, and our application of that knowledge in choices and decisions about how we show up and interact with others, particularly in challenging times and environments. This talk shares some insights and explores possibilities for change and transformation.

Leadership Maturity & Fallback In Times of Crisis

Lucille Greeff will share her experience in the field of identity and leadership maturity during this talk, including practical ways of supporting ourselves during this time.

We lead within a context and the current Covid-19 context is one that is challenging, complex and uncertain. This is the kind of context that forges who we are as human beings and leaders. Many of us will regress or fallback into earlier stages of maturity during this time, some of us will use this time to build the scaffolding for a more mature way in the world.

Who do you choose to be in this time of anxiety and change in the world? How will you lead and grow?

We would like to keep the group relatively small (less than 25) so you will have a chance to ask Valerie questions…..so places are limited and available to those who sign up the fastest. However if there is anyone you know who is interested in developmental coaching and would love to hear about leadership fallback, please let them know and we can check numbers to see if we can include them.
