Getting the whole system in the room for collective ownership

My friend and colleague, Tonnie van der Zouwen, started a podcast series called Creating level playing field for collaboration. The series was inspired by the Global Summit on Co-creating a World that Works for All, an online convening we helped organize.

I was honored that she invited me to contribute to the series. In the podcast, I highlight the significance of purpose, the role of diversity for collective ownership, how deep listening breaks through tensions, and the ethical responsibility of facilitators to create hospitable environments that encourage authenticity and belonging. We recorded it on October 25, 2024.

A big nod to Sandra Janoff and Marvin Weisbord, who taught me about getting the whole system in the room.
