A free, dynamic workshop experience exploring the nuances, puzzles and eternal questions about organizational life and beyond.
We are at an exciting time when thought leaders around the world are talking about a “Post-Management Era” in which the traditional assumptions that inspired management practices are no longer seen to be in tune with what the world of organizations is calling for. There is growing recognition that the paradigm of management, as we have known it, is hopelessly outdated and implies a level of centralized control that is unsuitable for the modern day in which initiative, autonomy and responsibility have to be more dispersed to allow for personal growth, rapid response and a highly decentralized capability for workplace dynamism. This forum called “Beyond Management” seeks to fill precisely that need- to create a loosely structured space in which we can collectively explore creative responses to the challenges of our personal and professional lives. It is a space in which we can reclaim our creative confidence to be able to play in the sandbox of emotional and intellectual creativity. Where we can be in conversation with like minded and like hearted sojourners, celebrating the spirit of life-long learning, of being our authentic selves, of listening, sharing, and of exploring the deeper existential dilemmas of professional life with no fear of judgment . We will share experiences, contribute to each other’s learning, view situations from multiple perspectives, learn about recent management books and authors that are making waves and piece together the great puzzles of organizational life in joyous creativity. Please circulate this announcement widely among family, friends and colleagues so that we are able to connect with other kindred spirits who are passionate about living life as the great adventure it was always meant to be.
