Presence

I am such a fan of Theory U, which gives the practical road map to ‘Presencing’ described in this book: the path it unfolds around generating truly transformational change, shifting our leadership and organisational thinking, decision-making, and action away from the traditional notions of leadership–evidence-driven thinking and problem-solving–and into the realms of heightened awareness, intuition, and sustainable decision making. 

In my view, this book offers a clever combination of perspectives and insights from the worlds of science, business, and, courageously, spirituality. Its integration of big-picture vision–the change we could bring to the world–grounded in reality with real-life case studies and… show more.

This is a different kind of business book focusing on our way of being in the world, and how living systems continually recreate themselves, and how Presence can lead to deeper levels of learning.

Presence is typically thought of as being fully conscious in the moment, but the book goes further to define presence to include deep listening, being open, and letting go of the old to create an emerging future. The authors offer a deep dive into the individuals that make up organizations and society, demonstrating how Presence acts as a path to profoundly transform people, companies, and communities.
