WHO IS OUR GUEST?
PETER BLOCK
Peter Block is an author, consultant and citizen of Cincinnati, Ohio. His work is about
empowerment, stewardship, chosen accountability and reconciliation of community. He is a
partner in Designed Learning, a training company that offers workshops designed to build
the skills outlined in his books. He is the author of Flawless Consulting, Stewardship, The
Answer to How Is Yes, Community:The Structure of Belonging, and The Abundant
Community, with John McKnight. Peter serves on the boards of Elementz, an urban arts
center, Cincinnati Public Radio, and LivePerson, a provider of online engagement solutions.
With other volunteers in Cincinnati, Peter began A Small Group, whose mission is to create
a new community narrative and to bring civic engagement into being. Peter’s work is in the
restoration of communities and creating a world that reclaims our humanity from the
onslaught of modernism.
“One core task of leadership is to build community. Our traditional strategies for dealing
with problems of performance, quality, cost and employee satisfaction are strong on
individualism and weak on community. Community, often confused with culture, is most
often treated as an afterthought, left to specialists to worry about. The dominant belief is
that laser-like goals, better controls, clearer consequences, more inspirational leadership,
and better systems will make a difference. They won’t. They are the problem, not the
solution. These strategies are incapable of transformation; they just make things a little
better.
This presentation is about the nature of real transformation and what kind of leadership is
required to achieve it. Transformation is a shift in the nature of things. It promises a culture
of chosen accountability, authentic commitment, and stronger social fabric, all elements of a
strong community. Peter will define how communal transformation is about leadership that
is independent of style, role modeling and holding people accountable.
Leadership is about changing the conversation. Leadership requires sophistication in the
methodology of convening, valuing listening over speaking, relationship over technology,
gifts over deficiencies and possibility over problem solving. Leadership is about being host,
not hero. Small groups are the unit of transformation, questions are the means, invitation is
the strategy. This session will be an example of what Peter talks about, so that the tools of
building community are demonstrated, not just discussed.”
“A community is defined by its narrative. All healing is
reconstructing our past in a more forgiving way.”
