- Saturday, 5th June 2021, from 5.00 pm to 8.30 pm.
About: We are in a time where our social and cultural orders and dynamics are transforming, which means many different changes. Therefore, it is needed to understand the rythms of change, the opportunities behind ‘chaos’, build-capacities for human groups to re-organize ourselves and new leadership principles.
This workshop looks forward to sensitize, analyse systemically, learn methods and practice facilitation actions to support social processes.
Juliana Bohórquez is used to recognize leadership on enharged or empowered people. Despite some theories as U Theory have researched about how social technologies have been changing and that our ways of self-organizing as a society have gone from being hierarchical and pyramidal, to being much more horizontal and co-creative, and our perception has gone from being linear to more extensive and systemic. However, in leadership, we continue to speak in a linear and hierarchical way where power is found in one or some persons, but not in the system.
The collective purpose practice that Meráki® has put into practice, allows societies to organize themselves to be united. Organizations have the pretension today, of wanting to be horizontal and inclusive, but from the desire they do not achieve it; because if the way they lead does not belong to a new system of thought. Even if they say they are leading differently, they are acting the same, and calling it in another way. As Peter Senge mentions that when we use a term too much, it loses meaning; this happens with ‘sustainability’, for example, which almost everyone is speaking about, but has become more of a social status than a true sustainable characteristic within the diverse systems.
SysLab® proposes using art and systems thinking to facilitate processes of high complexity in adverse contexts by understanding leadership as a phenomenon, not only from a theoretical perspective, but also from the practice. This has been carried out through Meráki®, a Colombian (South America) organization devoted to social transformation, and Juliana Bohórquez, as director and founder who has worked on the armed conflict framework, for building peace and reconciliation during the last 12 years.
So, what she has seen, putting into practice systemic thinking methodologies in a myriad of contexts, is that we can make leadership visible as a phenomenon and self-organize ourselves around it, by:
- Focusing and recognizing joint purposes
- Aligning the needs with the purpose
- Recognizing the place of each of the people in the system, to self-organize within it.
- Preparing the capacities that are traditionally known as leadership and focus on each person, breaking paradigms, so someone has a capacity that apparently does not serve for anything; understanding that this capacity for the system, although we are not realizing it, is important.
- Synchronizing people so that recognizing each other can listen to the context and the purpose, aligning with the collective and individual process.
