C. Otto Scharmer Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)

Scharmer's concise exploration of Theory U offers a profound analysis of how to navigate the complex, interconnected challenges of today's world. This work introduces a new vocabulary and integrates insights from mindfulness psychology, group sociology, and the dynamics of political and economic systems. It serves as a significant resource for those engaged in the global movement for deep systemic change, spanning social entrepreneurs to innovators within established organizations. Over the past decade, leaders committed to change have utilized these tools and ideas, advancing the theory in various contexts. Scharmer effectively articulates this expansive learning journey, making it accessible and relatable. The impact of Theory U has been remarkable, particularly in fostering collaboration among business, government, and civil society in regions like Indonesia and China, addressing environmental, social, and spiritual divides. Many have witnessed its transformative effects on organizations and individuals, enhancing participation in systemic change efforts. This book stands out as a comprehensive guide to conscious renewal and innovation, promising to reshape how we envision and create the future.

We have entered an age of disruption. Financial collapse, climate change, resource depletion, and a growing gap between rich and poor are but a few of the signs. Otto Scharmer and Katrin Kaufer ask, why do we collectively create results nobody wants? Meeting the challenges of this century requires updating our economic logic and operating system from an obsolete “ego-system” focused entirely on the well-being of oneself to an eco-system awareness that emphasizes the well-being of the whole. Filled with real-world examples, this thought-provoking guide presents proven practices for building a new economy that is more resilient, intentional, inclusive, and aware.

In this ground-breaking book, C. Otto Scharmer invites us to see the world in new ways.What we pay attention to, and how we pay attention is the key to what we create. What often prevents us from 'being present, ' is what Scharmer calls our blind spot, the inner place from which each of us operates. Becoming aware of our blind spot is critical to bringing forth the profound systemic changes so needed in business and society today. First introduced in Presence, the U methodology of leading profound change is expanded and deepened in Theory U. By moving through the "U" process we learn to connect to our essential Self in the realm of 'presencing' - a term coined by Scharmer. When 'presencing' we are able to see our own blind spot and pay attention in a way that allows us to experience the opening of our minds, our hearts, and our wills. Through this process we are able to shift our awareness to allow us to connect with our best future possibility--and to realize it.

Presence is een intieme blik op de ontwikkeling van een nieuwe theorie over verandering en leren. In gesprekken die over een periode van anderhalf jaar zijn gevoerd, verkenden pioniers op het gebied van organisatie leren, zoals Peter Senge, C. Otto Scharmer, Joseph Jaworski en Betty Sue Flowers, de aard van transformatieve verandering—hoe deze ontstaat en de nieuwe mogelijkheden die het biedt voor een wereld die gevaarlijk uit balans is. Het boek introduceert het idee van "aanwezigheid"—een concept ontleend aan de natuur, waarbij het geheel volledig aanwezig is in elk van zijn delen—in de werelden van business, onderwijs, overheid en leiderschap. Te vaak blijven we vastzitten in oude patronen van zien en handelen. Door diepere niveaus van leren aan te moedigen, creëren we een bewustzijn van het grotere geheel, wat leidt tot acties die de evolutie ervan en onze toekomst kunnen vormgeven. Presence verkent revolutionaire ideeën en biedt hoopvolle boodschappen over de capaciteiten die ten grondslag liggen aan ons vermogen om nieuwe mogelijkheden te zien, te voelen en te realiseren—in onszelf, in onze instellingen en organisaties, en in de samenleving zelf.
