Arizona State University Management Complex Challenges Question
You have explored with one another how Silsbee’s call to recognize how our thinking and being influence our knowledge about complex challenges can stretch and liberate our perspectives. Scharmer (2018) cautioned us about the status of our inner soil–that we must pay attention to our “interior condition” (p. 7) and how the three major divides are not separate problems; they are three different faces to the same root issue. Scharmer poses that believing and acting based only upon reflection is insufficient.
We must dig internally to find the source of our reactions, and we must disrupt them. We must be willing to expose those parts of our internal conditions that generate bias and behaviors. Reflection is only one aspect of our knowledge base. We now must lean into the future. We must be present. We must also sense what is emerging.
For the week’s assignment, glean what you have gathered from your stretched perspective and consider the next five and ten years regarding your challenge (see Scharmer). Compose a reflective essay that addresses:
- What do you think as you ponder the potential future for the challenge through a “strengths-density,” a blank canvas, or other approaches to your complexity challenge through a new leadership thinking process?
- How has your knowledge and perspective regarding the complexity challenge shifted, given influence from our sources?
- What are your reflections on how the now meaningfulness of the challenge highlights an emerging future, one of disruption and connectedness?
