There is much evidence that a key challenge facing leaders everywhere is the growing complexity of the environment in which they are expected to lead. Vaill describes this phenomenon as “permanent white-water.”

Frequently, traditional theoretical approaches to understanding management and leadership are limited and inadequate. Too often, leadership education and training courses are steeped in a “how to” mentality, featuring idealized leadership scenarios and behaviours.

We believe that a clear focus on the transformation of the complexity of meaning-making can and does contribute to a more effective way to encourage and support both the psychological growth of leaders and the efficacy of their leadership.
