Leadership & Complexity

…with Neil Theise, Author of Notes on Complexity: A Scientific Theory of Connection, Consciousness, and Being; MD-scientist, Human Interstitium Anatomy; Zen-Buddhist

These are intense times. Everyone is fighting for something—both individually and as a collective. The fight can create a lot of defensive and nervous complexity—a lot of noisy action. The strength of our foundation matters.

Join Rimma Boshernitsan and Neil Theise as they discuss the elements of  leading through complexity – bringing together ideas of interconnectedness and interdependence, adaptive leadership, decentralized decision-making, creativity, and belonging, this dialogue will shed valuable insight on how to lead in times of inflection.
