Keith McCandless and Henri Lipmanowicz on acting your way into a new kind of organising with Liberating Structures
...ll: I feel like there's so much more we could talk about. And I think maybe we have to have a whole other conversation about Liberating Structures in education, because that's something that's also really interesting. But we've mentioned that you now have this growing global community of Liberating Structure...more
... 1-2-4-All, you know, how complicated is that? Or Troika Consulting, and that kind of thing. And so, so what I hope is that - you were talking about education - what I hope is that teachers will use them routinely, starting at the lowest level in school, and that kids will get exposed to them as a result of...more
...hope for the world. It's everywhere, for everyone. I'd love to chat more about schools. So I've had a few experiences with schools now. Mostly higher education, more than a few experiences, and even some high school elementary. It's pretty easy to introduce these things. But one school in particular, Kaospi...more
Jos de Blok on Buurtzorg and the virtues of humanising, not protocolising
...e you're working? It's so important that you don't wear a mask or you're not somebody else - no, it's you. You have your qualities, your skills, your education, and you're doing it the best way you can do it, but it can be different than another one.

...ger, 30 years, are inside of all these people. So it's not so easy to say, from one to another day: "Oh, it's not there anymore". No. You did the MBA education so you have all these records in your head and you don't know yet what the new pattern will be. So there is a transformation on a personal level, the...more

Nand Kishore Chaudhary from Jaipur Rugs on love, collective consciousness and self-management
...a Gill: Yeah, thank you for sharing. I think so many organisations out there, when they hire people who have come from business school or traditional education or other companies, it's really difficult for them to adapt to a different way of working, which, as you say, involves unlearning. So I just -love th...more
...if they hadn't met you, they might perhaps go quite a while before ever experiencing that kind of perspective. And I really think we need to reinvent education, as well as our organisations because they go hand in hand.

Michael Y. Lee on lessons from researching self-managing organisations
...here's clearly a big gap between the theory and the practice. So what are your thoughts on how we can support people as someone who's coming from the education world, for example? How can we train and develop future leaders of organisations with these leadership skills, given that it's not happened yet? Mich...more

And yet, I think still the education system and my understanding is the culture generally in Ukraine is quite hierarchical, so there's still some unlearning to do there I think, and I th...more
...m: I can maybe comment first on the overall educational system and what with what luggage people come into the organisation.

...hey really understand their choices, so that they're really genuinely involved, and by their involvement, become better educated.

So, if you think about the broader ecosystem in which Haier exists — we don’t do a very good job in the education or training world, preparing people for this. We prepare them for the historical model, which is a lot more constrained. So my hope is that we recogn...more
Peter Koenig on source, money and consciousness
... because this kind of collaboration, once again, one we haven't learned, we haven't been educated in, in, let's say, the conventional paradigm of our education.
