Foundations for Leadership, Special nonprofit and team rates available!
October 18-20, 2005, Cambridge, MA USA

Facilitated by Peter Senge and Beth Jandernoa

This program goes deeply into the domains of personal mastery, collaborative inquiry, and the systems perspective as key competencies for sustaining profound change. Through the interplay of personal and interpersonal work, participants will recognize that leadership concerns the capacity of a human community to shape its destiny and to bring forth realities aligned with people's deepest aspirations. From senior executives to those with no formal authority, leaders at every organizational level will gain deeper insights into leadership as a collective phenomenon. Teams are encouraged to participate and explore together what it takes to create an environment in which leadership is a shared responsibility, naturally embedded in the fabric on an organization or community. This program was the origin of Peter Senge's book " The Fifth Discipline."
