We stand at a pivotal juncture in
history where the fabric of society may unravel at an
irrecoverable rate or be re-woven with a new strength
and resilience. There is a great deal of profound
potential in our midst to recast our collective future
for the good of all. In a world stretched to the limit
of viability by divisive "us-them" thinking, we need a
worldview founded upon a greater truth: the unity of
humankind and the wholeness of the planet. Though times
of instability may create anxiety, they are also
opportune moments to develop new responses born of a
worldview more suited for these times- the common good.
In his new book Sharing the Rock:
Shaping Our Future through Leadership for the Common
Good leadership
educator and activist Bill Grace presents a model to do
just that by cultivating a worldview rooted in the
common good. This simple model recasts leadership as
being values-based, inclusive of all and sustained by a
fierce urgency to act together on behalf of our common
future. This webinar will explore the seven leadership
practices Sharing the Rock including: Aligning
leadership with values Embracing the wisdom of the
margins Co-creating gracious space Receiving hope Acting
with courage Participants of this webinar will:
- Discover the importance of the Common Good
worldview for our time
- Learn the basics of the seven practices of
Leadership for the Common Good

greater capacity of these seven practices
