Introduction
This event is one in a series of online Knowledge Cafés on Conversational Leadership run on the Zoom video conferencing platform.
Each Café is themed on material from my online blook on Conversational Leadership.
Before each Café, I may ask you to do some homework and read one or more posts relating to the theme in my blook.
If you are unfamiliar with the Knowledge Café concept, this event is participatory. It is NOT a webinar.
Theme: What are we prepared to take responsibility for?
Conversational Leadership emphasizes the importance of taking responsibility, one of its fundamental principles. In our complex world, relying on others to take responsibility for things we value, especially the changes we wish to see in our organization, family, community, or the world, is unrealistic.
Taking responsibility is a crucial aspect of personal growth and development. It involves acknowledging that we have control over our lives and the power to influence our thoughts, emotions, and actions.
We can take responsibility in several ways, such as our experiences, thoughts, conversations, and the changes we wish to see.
By assuming responsibility for these aspects of our lives, we can create positive change in our lives and the world around us.
The purpose of this Café is to examine how we can take responsibility and how willing we are to embrace the idea.
I will speak about the theme of this Café and pose a question to initiate the conversation. Then, in Café style, we will divide into small groups for three rounds of discussions, followed by a whole group conversation.
Reading Material
Please read this post in my blook on the subject if you have the time, as it will help set the context for the conversation. It is not a prerequisite.
