The Leader's Mind

Step 1: Find a type of floss you like. You might need to try a few different styles to see what feels best for you. Step 2: Set the floss on your bathroom counter, ideally right by your toothbrush. Step 3: After you set down your toothbrush, pick up the floss container and tear off some floss. Step 4: Floss one tooth. Step 5: Smile at yourself in the mirror and feel good about creating a new habit.
We can see what people do, the practical outcomes that they accomplish in the visible realm. But we rarely pay attention to the deeper root condition: the source and interior condition from which we operate. Theory U draws our attention to that blind spot—to the invisible source dimension of the social field, to the quality of relationships that we have to each other, to the system, and to ourselves. Theory U identifies four different ways (or sources from) that action and attention come into the world. They arise from a quality of awareness that is (1) habitual, (2) ego-systemic, (3) empathic-relational, or (4) generative eco-systemic. The essence of leadership is to become aware of our blind spot (these interior conditions or sources) and then to shift the inner place from which we operate as required by the situations we face. This means that our job as leaders and change makers is to cultivate the soil of the social field. The social field consists of the relationships among individuals, groups, and systems that give rise to patterns of thinking, conversing, and organizing, which in turn produce practical results.
