Resilient Leadership Amidst Complexity

The “leader” word often brings to mind strong, decisive, visionary individuals. Yet this assumption stops many from ever thinking of themselves as leaders. This webinar explores an understanding of active citizen leadership where we can all see our part in leadership as learners within a living, learning system. Leaders can be strong and vulnerable, decisive and inquiring, visionary and facilitating of shared vision. Polarities of potentially contradictory responses are identified, which are always in movement within personal, relational, structural and cultural layers of leadership. Complexity thinking supports understanding of this dynamic as a complex adaptive system. Our ability to facilitate inquiry within ourselves and with others is one of various leadership capabilities identified for working with the complexity of civil society leadership and in other complex contexts.

About the presenter

Margy-Jean Malcolm is a former senior lecturer with Unitec’s Not-For-Profit Management programme, who has worked on a number of projects since the 1970s in community development, not for profit management, leadership, teaching and consultancy. Her research interest is in facilitating inquiry with groups as they initiate, review or rethink their interventions in their community or organisation and what factors support their ability to make a difference. You can find out more about Margy-Jean and her research here.

Publications

‘Civil Society Leadership as Learning’, Margy Jean Malcolm’s seminal study is available from the Community Research website here, with theory and case studies drawn from contemporary Aotearoa practice, to help you reflect on how to enable your own and other’s active citizen leadership.  Download here
