Enlightened Rebels recognize the need to question some of the long-accepted notions around leadership that are no longer relevant. They find better ways to lead and create inspired workplaces.

“Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200.” is a well-known instruction from the board game Monopoly. In this post, we link it to the first guiding principle on our Enlightened Rebel Roadmap... Practice Facilitative Leadership. Without it, you won't make much progress.

Making the shift to new paradigm leadership is easier said than done. Here’s a roadmap to guide you on your journey.

According to Jesse Lyn Stoner from the Seapoint Center for Collaborative Leadership, to successfully face today’s challenges, leaders need to pay attention to ten provocative truths.

Leadership is about three outcomes. The focus is less on “The Leader” and a laundry list of individual leadership competencies and more on “The Leadership Process” and helping everyone pay attention to its essential elements.

Leadership can exist everywhere and anywhere. It's not associated with a position. Leaders are people who help us to change. They sometimes are those who occupy positions of power, but often they are not. Facilitative leadership is an attitude that anyone can practice.

Nick Petrie makes a case for moving beyond traditional approaches that emphasize horizontal (knowledge, skills, and competencies) leadership development. He argues that vertical development (thinking in more complex, systemic, and interdependent ways) is what’s increasingly needed in our VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) world.

Liberating Structures are simple processes that make it possible to include and engage every voice in shaping the future. The 33 individual practices are powerful tools for facilitative leaders and, best of all, no expert training is required!
