Regenerate!

The Regenerative Leadership achieves more from less, it embraces changes before they threaten existence, and it sets the organization on to the virtuous loop of higher and higher performance.

The Regenerative Leadership is a loop consisting of activities such as:
-making sense of reality
-understanding, articulating, and implementing general and specific values
-Leveraging small and big ideas
-learning and teaching
-articulating larger vision
-coming up with actions and taking actions that change reality (bias for actions)
-Learning from all above and revisiting all above periodically (the regenerative loop)

I have found that this loop releases energies for change and transformation in organizations that take up such leadership development programs.

For knowing how the regenerative leadrship helps you develop your leadership pipeline read about career planning.

I got this idea from Srinivas Sridharan, my ex-colleague from Philips days. To quote from his profile,

” he investigates the nature of consumption and entrepreneurship exhibited by impoverished individuals and communities”

Indeed living is entrepreneurship for a large mass of humanity. Privileged people like us do not seem to reaize this. It is geat that people like Srinivas are exploring this. Travails of poor people has often been a subject of art, a recent example being the Oscar winner ‘Slumdog Millionnaire’.

People are very inventive and are great learners while waging the battle for existence. Nature ingrains these qualities in us. But the moment connections between daily bread and efforts snap, as they do when people earn some security the entrepreneurship deserts them…

Entrepreneurship when seen in the context of businesses needs to go beyond this desperate inventiveness and include qualities like

-learning, transferring learning into new situations

-connecting with value chains and other forces

-teaching the learnings to more people

At Learning Leadership, learners get to practice the above in their work situations.
