We have all experienced old paradigm, hierarchical leadership. It focused on the vision of the ONE, instead of the wisdom of the MANY. There were extreme limitations to individual creativity and power. As a matter of fact, it was intentionally suppressed and obliterated.
Collective leadership is a totally different animal, and it's on the rise. It changes the landscape of what's possible and calls for everyone's ‘leaderfulness.' Â It's a collective power play.
Imagine a pyramid, with ‘the leader' at the tip and ‘the followers' as the base. This is that top down feel, direction and structure come from the leader(s). There's some latitude for individuals, but not much, depending on your position in the hierarchy. There's little to no movement on the bottom, the base of the pyramid.
Now, Â invert the pyramid, you'll have the base of the pyramid at the top with collective leaders consciously weaving the dance and the tip at the bottom as the focus of our connective movement. Nice. Gone is the heavy mantel of power. Â Now there's more for everyone – the individual, the organization, the collective intention and everyone, everywhere. Creativity sparkles, responsibility arises organically (your ‘ability to respond') and MORE is possible.
Globally and culturally we are undergoing an initiation. We are moving out of the journey of the hero and the heroine … that process of individuation. An archetypal shift or initiation is occurring where we are moving into the journey of partnership or the journey of the tribe. The journey of partnership . . . requires the spirit of cooperation and collaboration . . . requires that we learn about collective leadership and collective wisdom. Angeles Arrien
Collective Leadership is visionary in nature, evolutionary in practice and gives rise to a grander potential, individually and collectively. This is very exciting! The Age of Aquarius is upon us. There is NO doing it alone anymore. No more strange ranger, lone ranger syndrome. There is a critical mass of awakened ones who are READY to play consciously at this level of power and manifestation. You ARE the vanguard of this movement and you KNOW it.
Land your collective vision of reality, now! Find your dance partners and play collectively. There is unleashed power in collective leadership to bring your vision to LIFE!
