It is all about dialogue, not monologue.

Eric presents the concepts as well as pragmatic tools for putting them into practice. Key ideas: leadership, complexity, resilience, turbulence, agility, technology,trust.

You’re It! Mastering High-Stakes Meta-Leadership: Leadership moments come for all of us–some planned and some utterly unexpected.

Eric uses the dimensions of meta-leadership developed through work with hundreds of leaders in high stakes situations to help participants develop both their leadership capacity and capability. Key ideas: meta-leadership, crisis leadership, professional development.

ARTful Leadership: Adaptive Capacity, Resilience, and Trust: In the age of networks, the ability to adapt and transform is paramount.
