How do we lead when the world stops making sense?

We are living through a period of profound uncertainty. The world is increasingly described as BANI: brittle, anxious, nonlinear and incomprehensible. Technologies and institutions are changing faster than our ability to fully understand what those changes mean.

In such a context, more rules, plans and control are not enough.

We need leaders with a stronger inner compass.

This workshop explores what values-based leadership looks and feels like in practice. How do we make decisions without complete information? How do we question our own assumptions? How do we encounter perspectives different from our own? And how do we create conditions where better thinking and decisions can emerge?

Through experiential exercises, dialogue and reflection, we will explore:

• Values & motivation, drawing on Self-Determination Theory and the Values Tree
• Adult development and our capacity to hold complexity and take perspective
• Inner development through the Inner Development Guide
• Values-based leadership as a lived practice
• Facilitative leadership and creating the conditions for collective intelligence

Before the workshop, you will complete a 15-minute Values Tree mapping, used by more than 120,000 people. We will use your own values as a starting point for exploring what happens when they meet the values and perspectives of others.

The workshop is also a try-out for a new two-day Facilitator Training at Ekskäret Island in May 2027, for people who want to support leaders, teams and organisations in working more deeply with values, inner development and mature leadership.

Expect less lecture, more practice: reflection, dialogue, encounter and experimentation.
