Learning Through Action: Decision-Making and Accountability

Learning Group Dynamics Through Present Time Experience

Oct. 25-27, 2020, Moscow, Russia

The Overall Task of the Event is:

To learn about group dynamics by engaging and reflecting on experience as it happens.

The focus is on what can be understood about the group and how it shapes individual emotions and behaviour.

This is often very useful. Many who attend such events report having learned surprising things about themselves and others, and about how they have related to groups.  And, most importantly, many report feeling more capable and effective in the various roles they occupy in their regular lives.

People bring experience that is shaped not just from within but also by the impact of wider shared histories. Members of work groups, consultants, coaches and clinicians know that both inner and outer drives shape how people take up and understand their complex and multiple roles.

In today’s organizations, leadership is no longer simply top-down nor bottom-up. The authority to engage others in meaningful work arises from multiple sources. This is not only a question of motivation through vision or values, but of negotiating how people work together. This, in turn, is influenced by hidden resistances and motives that need to be faced before progress becomes possible. The days of resentful obedience and dominating or seductive leadership are no longer effective in organizations that increasingly require flexibility and maximum engagement of people to survive and thrive.
