Igniting a field of inspired connection and action

I bookmarked a paper from Otto Scharmer prepared for a Round Table Meeting on Leadership for development impact. It contains lots of elements how to reach out deeply in to the fields and constelllations of a given culture, city, country or community
: Leadership development is not about filling a gap but about igniting a field of inspired connection and action
I agree with lots of points. Especially- as Otto elaborated in his online community at Ning - about going beyond any masterplan fantasies.
Igniting these fields -from whatever starting point one may engage - is an art and process of collective intention building not understood in conventional leadership. Its a big integral contribution too in my eyes.
What is missing seems to be a view adressing especially pre-orange worldviews and practices. How to create impact in inner city realities? Afghanistan? Israel/Palestine? West and Eastern Germany? Kosovo? Turkey? London? Prague, Marseilles? ETC. etc..hotspots areas?
Inspired action and connection needs to be in contact with very hard truths. So to breathe belly to belly. And to embrace the total spectrum of individual and collective (as discussed here and elsewhere last months) spirit-in-action.
I will certainly adress it in the emerging German speaking SDi Ning Group. This project will embrace and present diverse fields too and finally put German speaking countries into the integral spotlights and any systemically oriented frameworks too.
I will co-moderate it and engage especially in building bridges from the German speaking countries to the Anglo-American sphere. I am happy to be able to contribute thus to the" notes from the field" section for Integral Leadership Review.):)
And to gather voices, people, developments blueprints and passionate opinion from people who are living and working here. Natives, expats and migrants. In the broadest multicultural sense and values spectrum . With full reference to globalization and a multipolar world.
It should be a great evolutionary adventure:):)
