Erich Jantsch would have been 96 on December 8. I want to take a moment to reflect on his incredible legacy and share a bit about my personal journey with his work. 🌍✨

Last year, I published a biography titled "The Silent Ganesh", which chronicles Jantsch’s life and contributions. Writing this book was an incredible experience, and further connected me with admirers of Jantsch’s work from around the world in the #systems community.

I first discovered Erich Jantsch during my PhD research, and exploring his ideas brought me into contact with so many remarkable individuals who helped illuminate his life and legacy:

Fritjof Capra shared photos of Jantsch he discovered in his basement.

Wendell Bell, Jim Dator, Debora Hammond, Eleonora Masini, Jennifer Gidley, Peter Jones, Peter Bishop, Dennis McKenna, Ralph Abraham, and many others offered insights, stories, and encouragement.

The late Dennis Meadows sent me an original 1969 report referenced in my dissertation—hand-typed by Jantsch himself.

Milan Zeleny and the generous Alexander (Aleco) Christakis, who worked closely with Jantsch, shared a detailed history of his life and connected me with even more valuable resources.

@angelalongo1, a friend of Jantsch during his time as a visiting lecturer in Berkeley, connected with me from across the globe to share stories, photos, and her personal memories.

These conversations and connections brought Jantsch’s legacy to life in ways I never imagined, reinforcing his profound impact on systems theory, futurology, and holistic science.

On this special day, let’s honor Jantsch’s memory and reflect on how his work continues to inspire us. If you’re interested in learning more, I invite you to explore "The Silent Ganesh", www.erichjantsch.com, and join the ongoing conversation about his legacy.

As the year wraps up, I’ve pulled together the tracks that defined my 2024. From moments of focus and big ideas to winding down, this playlist is a soundtrack of 2024's growth, challenges, and wins.

Here are a few standouts:

🎵 Espresso - Sabrina Carpenter: The song of the summer.
🎵 Murder on the Dancefloor - Sophie Ellis-Bextor: The song revival I didn't see coming thanks to Saltburn.
🎵 Dermot - Fred Again.. & Dermot Kennedy: The song that unexpectedly brings a tear to my eye.
🎵 Guess - Charlie xcx & Billie Eilish: The album I couldn't stop listening to this fall.
🎵 Eat Your Man - Nelly Furtado, Dom Dolla: The song that reminds me of the revival of Nelly Furtado.
🎵 Osse de Dosse (Lane 8), Love Again (Eli & Fur), Best Life (Ben Boemer & JONAH): On one epic day this year, all 3 of my favorite house artists dropped albums and I listened to them all on repeat as I painted the house.

Here’s to the beats that kept us inspired this year! Check out all 45 songs and let me know what’s on your 2024 playlist! 💭✨

As 2024 comes to a close, I’m reflecting on the books that shaped my thinking this year. From leadership and followership to personal productivity and organizational transformation, these 5 reads left a lasting impact:

📖 Traction by Gino Wickman: A hands-on guide to the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), focusing on clarity, accountability, and team alignment.
📖 Brave New Work by Aaron Dignan: A bold call to reimagine organizations with adaptive systems and decentralized decision-making.
📖 The PARA Method by Tiago Forte: A simple yet transformative approach to organizing digital files and boosting productivity.
📖 Kindred by Octavia E. Butler: A powerful narrative exploring race, power, and identity through the lens of time travel.
📖 Leadership is Half the Story by Marc & Samantha Hurwitz: A fresh perspective on balancing leadership and followership to create dynamic, high-performing teams.

What an unforgettable 2025 International Leadershi

What an unforgettable 2025 International Leadership Association @leadershipnexus Conference in Chicago and representing @excelsioruniv! Here are a few highlights from an incredible experience:

🎤 Attending as a presenter, incoming Followership Stream Chair, and engaged ILA member.

✨ Keynote sessions were inspiring, featuring:
-Michael Strautmanis (Obama Foundation)
-Calvin Butler (Exelon)
-Sona Wang (Randolph Entertainment), whose insights beautifully prepped the audience for my presentation on leadership and followership in startups.

📸 Finally made it into Mark Rennaker, PhD and Dr. Mike Linville's group photo this year – No more “I was there, I swear!” jokes! (A joke that delightfully landed me on one of their presentation slides!)

🌟 Our World Cafe session, *Transition Dynamics: Trust and Followership During Organizational Change*, with Mitchell Gurick, PhD (OpenAI) and Vailet Yarijanian, PhD (Fusion Academy), was a hit. Attendees brought their own organizational transition stories, layering the frames of organizational dynamics, followership, and change leadership to generate meaningful dialogue and insights.

📊 Thrilled to present my research on *Leadership-Followership Dynamics in Startup Evolution*. I was elated to have a followership fan club join the session, sparking thoughtful questions and great discussions around findings from 35 startup professionals.

💰 A visit to the Chicago Fed Money Museum – I got closer to $1 million (literally!) than I’ll ever be again.

🌉 A memorable river cruise – Fascinating lessons about Chicago’s architecture and commerce history.

🏈 Wrapped up the trip in (my) true ILA tradition – Cheering on the Bills at a Bills Backers Bar, which was packed even during a Bears game. The #BillsMafia camaraderie is thriving across the country!

Thank you, ILA, for an enriching experience. I’m already looking forward to next year! #ILA2024 #everupward #Leadership #Followership #StartupDynamics

I’ll be presenting two sessions at the @leadersh

I’ll be presenting two sessions at the @leadershipnexus Conference in Chicago this week, diving into the critical dynamics of leadership and followership within organizations. Here’s a glimpse into what we’ll be covering:

Leadership-Followership Dynamics in Startup Evolution: A Multifaceted Study
Small businesses and startups drive 44% of U.S. economic activity and create two-thirds of new jobs—an impactful setting to examine leadership and followership. In this session, I’ll be presenting findings from my study of 35 startup professionals across various growth stages, exploring how leadership and followership practices evolve as startups grow. I’ll share insights into how early-stage startups, focused on innovation and agility, transition to later stages where structure and stability become essential. We’ll discuss shifts in communication, changing power dynamics, and the unique challenges startups face in fostering collaboration and effective leadership as they scale.

I’ll also be co-leading:

Transition Dynamics: Trust and Followership During Organizational Change – A Continuation
With Mitchell Gurick, PhD (OpenAI), and Vailet Yarijanian, PhD (Fusion Academy), we’ll continue our exploration of how followership contributes to rebuilding trust and adapting work methodologies post-organizational change. This World Cafe session will tap into real-life experiences from industry and academia, using collaborative brainstorming to discover innovative solutions for navigating transitions.

Looking forward to engaging with fellow attendees and diving into these essential topics! See you there!

Last week, I had the privilege of attending the U.

Last week, I had the privilege of attending the U.S. Army War College’s Strategic Leader Staff Ride, and it was an unforgettable experience! It wasn’t just about historical insights—it was a unique team-building opportunity that connected colleagues from across the institution. Here are some key takeaways:

>>Strategic Alignment: Explored how clear communication and alignment are crucial for effective leadership, both on the battlefield and in today’s complex environments.

>>Purpose-Driven Leadership: Stories like the First Minnesota’s courageous stand showed the power of leading with purpose, even in the toughest circumstances.

>>Bridging Tactical to Strategic: Gained insights into transforming short-term wins into long-term strategic success, with a focus on empowerment and managing the narrative.

>>Team Building: Connected with colleagues from across different departments, sparking valuable conversations that would not have happened otherwise.

>>Comfort in Leadership: Sat in a Herman Miller chair for the first (and probably only) time—talk about a strategic seating choice!

Excited to bring these lessons back to my teams and strengthen our focus on leadership, communication, and collaboration. Huge thanks to @excelsioruniv and @us_awc for making this possible! #LeadershipDevelopment #TeamBuilding #StrategicAlignment #Empowerment #ArmyWarCollege
