Build Systems Leadership Capacity

Build Systems Leadership Capacity

This practice focuses on empowering people to lead transformation at three levels — within themselves, within their institutions and within the system. Capacity building in this area involves exploring the interconnections between inner work, collective transformation and system transformation. Key capabilities include self-awareness, awareness of others, self-inquiry and collaborative inquiry, along with other multidisciplinary skills. This practice is based on the understanding that each individual has the power to be a change agent and leader.
