21. Leadership Across the Institution

22. Our organizations are limited in their capacity for rationality but they do still have patterns, rules and incentives that can be understood. We Need to Make Change Easier: We Need to Know How our Organizations Really Work

23. In large organizations most daily operations have become a habit, no longer done with awareness, no longer examined for the true costs/benefit. This is why READY, FIRE, AIM can be the right sequence in the early stages of catalyzing change. 5% of what the individual does is consciously processed We Need to Make Change Easier: Like our own minds our organizations are largely unconscious. They will are revealed to us largely through the change process.

24. The educational theorist Kent den Heyer proposes that we have a tendency to believe that it is through the heroic efforts of individuals that real change occurs. This assumption can lead to a feeling of helplessness on the part of many people confronting enormous issues such as the global environmental imperative. Will Our Great Leaders Save Us?

25. To assist with moving us beyond our paralysis, Heyer encourages us to learn from historical social change movements and to understand the innate complexity of social change, the diversity of change agency roles and the unpredictable and powerful interactions of a significant number of forces. Heyer offers a socially distributed interpretation of agency better suited to the modest zones of influence in which most people live. Historical agency for Social Change: Something more than Symbolic Empowermnet (2003) Will Our Great Leaders Save Us?

31. Transformation Insight: Systems Leadership Transformation Insight: Systems Leadership At the heart of the systems leadership is the belief that the relationship between individuals has its own emergent, creative potential beyond that of the individual people or components involved. Systems leadership involves leading and participating with a commitment to cultivate, explore and utilize the emergent potential of the relationships involved. The art of effective change agency must involve a systems leadership approach.

36. Most people believe that humans are innately averse to change. This is not true. A more accurate assessment is that people have an aversion to instability and risk and they assume that change equals instability and risk. People are actually invigorated by change when it occurs with adequate stability and low risk. The most common source of unanticipated instability/risk is the failure to address interdependence. In other words ignoring the system and focusing only on certain parts. We Need to Make Change Easier

37. http://web.mit.edu/press/2010/collective-intel.html When it comes to intelligence, the whole can indeed be greater than the sum of its parts. A new study co-authored by MIT, Carnegie Mellon University, and Union College researchers documents the existence of collective intelligence among groups of people who cooperate well, showing that such intelligence extends beyond the cognitive abilities of the groups individual members…. They discovered that groups featuring the right kind of internal dynamics perform well on a wide range of assignments, a finding with potential applications for businesses & other organizations. Group Intelligence Will Matter More in the Green Economy Than Individual Intelligence

38. http://web.mit.edu/press/2010/collective-intel.html Three key factors that enhance group intelligence: 1. Groups whose members had higher levels of "social sensitivity" were more collectively intelligent. Social sensitivity has to do with how well group members perceive each other's emotions, says Christopher Chabris, a co-author and assistant professor of psychology at Union College in New York. 2. In groups where one person dominated, the group was less collectively intelligent than in groups where the conversational turns were more evenly distributed," adds Woolley. 3. And teams containing more women demonstrated greater social sensitivity and in turn greater collective intelligence compared to teams containing fewer women. Group Intelligence Will Matter More in the Green Economy Than Individual Intelligence
