5. Title: Introduction to Complexity Leadership (2 days by Adrian Wagner)
Content overview: To find innovative solutions and possible lines of intercultural cooperation for the future, this two-day training will be designed to give insights into complexity leadership based on the value-developmental model of Clare Graves. Participants will share their knowledge and expertise related to their already existing projects and challenges.
The focus will be on understanding the underlying values and motivations of people within societies and how these values shape identities and communication. After an introduction into Grave's models, participants will work in small groups on a project map, which will give participants the chance to reflect on their own work.
Furthermore, different ways of listening and relating to each other within an complex environment will be analyzed by Theory U (Otto Scharmer). Examples will be discussed of young entrepreneurs, grass roots initiatives, and best practice from international organizations and civil societies. Hence the focus will be on possible adaptation and implementation within the participants' own work environments. The main goal is to to co-create possibilities for projects and how the idea of complexity leadership can be applied in the field.
