About [Edit]
All over the world, people are stepping forward in new ways to provide leadership.
This paper summarizes research done by Bob Stilger, Co-President of The Berkana Institute. Stilger looks at the lives of seven people who were called to create learning centers in different parts of the world. He looks for the patterns in their lives that allowed them to step forward with a new kind of leadership which Stilger labels as enspirited and which leads to community action that is appreciatve and emergent.

Hi, folks.
I am following the work at Berkana with interest. Especially, the dialog on leadership intrigues me, as my dissertation was on the topic of Innovation Leadership.
According to the reading I've done - which parallels the thoughts presented by Bob Stilger et al. - the reshaping of leadership in the corporate world, and elsewhere, is occurring by fits and starts (mimicking biological evolution, in some respects). The move is from authoritative leadership (see Ordway Tead) towards leaderful organizations (Joseph Raelin). Under stress - such as an economic downturn - the tendency is to revert to more simplistic (authoritative) leadership and management, but hope remains that enlightened, progressive, pluralistic-minded folk will continue to move all of us to a greater destiny.
Keep up the great work, Berkana!
