“When leaders can cultivate both inner and outer skills, it increases their chances of success in large complex change by 52 percent”. – Deborah Rowland

How we as leaders see the world (and the “inner skills” we can develop by seeing our context through different lenses) makes a significant difference in our ability to deliver change in a system. In this workshop, we will look at different mindsets and worldviews of change and how these impact on our ability to operate as leaders of change and improvement. We will explore how leaders who have a more developed worldview have a greater capacity to deal with complexity, are more welcoming of diverse ideas and perspectives, and can see more patterns and interconnections, which lead to more effective solutions. We will consider actions to build our own inner skills for change, based on new ways of seeing the world.

As a result of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Understand the impact of mindsets and worldviews on the ability to make change happen


• Enhance their capacity to manage in complex change situations through a more developed worldview of change


• Plan specific actions to build their inner skills for change, based on new perspectives and ways of seeing the world, to become more effective leaders of change.
