(INVITATION) Leadership in a Self-organizing World, May 14-17, 2009

[Peggy Holman]

Dear friends and co-conspirators,

Many of us have been experimenting with new forms of organizing and  
leading for years and decades. Others are seeking new ways as the old  
practices are insufficient to the challenges they are facing.  It's  
time for us to gather to bring together our experiments, efforts,  
stories, wisdom, and questions.

Please join us for Leadership in a Self-organizing World – www.selforganizingworld.net 
.

We are convening at the beautiful Sleeping Lady Mountain Resort (www.sleepinglady.com 
), nestled in the Cascade foothills outside Leavenworth, Washington,  
about 2 hours from Seattle.

Harrison Owen, creator of Open Space Technology, will be joining us  
and launching his book Wave Rider: Leadership for High Performance in  
a Self Organizing World (http://www.bkconnection.com/ProdDetails.asp?ID=9781576756171&PG=1&Type=BL&PCS=BKP 
)

Harrison uses the term "wave rider" to describe the kind of leadership  
and organizational/community capacity needed to survive and thrive.   
We’ll spend out time together pooling our collective learning about  
what “wave riding” is really looking like, what are our pioneering  
efforts are showing us and what's next.

An incredible cohort of learners, practitioners and pioneers are  
gathering in May to be part of this inquiry!  Already involved and  
planning to attend are:  Peggy Holman; Joel Levey; Tracy Patterson;  
Joshua Heim; Catherine Crim; Candi Foon; Mark Jones; Jan Gray; Christy  
Lee-Engel; Susan Partnow; Sono Hashisaki; Teresa Posakony; Anne  
Stadler; Dale Nienow; Paul Gleiberman; Steven Wright; Jun Akutsu; John  
Engle; Grace Chien; Gabriel Shirley; Tracy Robinson; Sue McNab; Iris  
Lemmer; Jerilyn Brusseau.

We hope YOU will be part of this too!

I look forward to seeing you there!



Appreciatively,

Peggy



P.S.  We're getting started now by gathering stories, examples of the  
"new leadership" or pioneering endeavors that illuminate these  
principles of self-organization or new models of leadership and  
collaboration.   If you have stories to share, post them at http://www.openspaceworld.org/cgi/netwiki.cgi?StoriesAndExamples 
  (instructions and password are in “Help”).  Or send your stories to  
Anne Stadler (anne.m.stad at gmail.com).

Looking forward to joining you in this timely and alive inquiry!
