Think Piece developed for Charles Sturt University discussing the concepts of leadership, innovation and hierachy

1. Leadership
Outside
the Hierarchy
@TIMKLAPDOR

2. Hierarchy is the Default

3. De - Fault

4. People rarely move
beyond the default

5. Establish a Hierarchy
around the Problem

6. »» What it is they entrench?
»» What do they avoid?
»» What do they hide?
»» What do they improve?
»» What do they enhance?
»» What to they leave behind?

7. »» Who do they entrench?

8. Leadership Hierarchy

9. Us & Them

10. Concentrated Power

11. Does leadership actually
require a hierarchy?

17. Education is Complex

18. “The definition of insanity is doing
the same thing twice and expecting
a different result”
In a complex environment, doing the
same thing twice will give a different
result measure it reliably

19. “You can’t fix what you can’t
measure”
You can intervene in a complex
environment, even if you can’t
measure it reliably

20. Emergence

21. Not-yetness

22. Space to Emerge

24. Where is the space in the hierarchy
for not-yetness?

25. Hierarchy impedes
Innovation

26. What can we do?

27. Decentralise Leadership

28. Leadership is taking the
responsibility to create an
environment that facilitates a
transition between states.

29. Responsibility
Autonomy
Process

30. Horizontal Structures

31. Build Diversity

32. Encourage Emergence

33. Connecting Knowledge

34. Outside the Hierarchy

35. Thanks!
