Co-Active Leader in the Field: Intuition and Innovation

Co-Active Leader in the Field is not about leading a project, a team, or even an organization. Instead, Co-Active Leader in the Field is about noticing and taking responsibility for our impact in and on our world. If, as we said in chapter 1, leaders are those who are responsible for their world, the dimension of Co-Active Leader in the Field connects us to a global sense of the world we are creating.

In the dimension of Co-Active Leader in the Field, we slow down and expand our sensory awareness so that we can access our imagination, intuition, and insight (co), and have the courage and commitment to act on what we sense in a way that is innovative and new (active).

When we slow down and open up our senses, new understanding comes that we just can’t access from the hustle of our daily routines. We are able to see the big picture and discover patterns and cycles that can lead us to new insight and innovation.

Co-Active Leaders in the Field take responsibility for their world by slowing down and observing the deeper implications of what is happening, and by trusting their instinct and intuition beyond what is known and can be proved.
