The Essence of Theory U and Presencing

[adavieson]

Theory U appears more like psychological forage into the human mind than organizational learning tool; but the lessons are nonetheless relevant. Presence and sensing are both fundamental to organizational learning especially for leaders who often do not have a full grasp of what goes on in their organizations. Exploring blind spots in order to examine the psychology of being is a cognitive way of approaching a sensitive subject as profound as theory u. - Doctoral Candidate - UoP - a Phoenix!

My favorite description of History, by Walter Benjamin:

"This is how one pictures the angel of history. His face is turned toward the past. Where we perceive a chain of events, he sees one single catastrophe which keeps piling wreckage and hurls it in front of his feet. ... a storm is blowing in from Paradise... The storm irresistibly propels him into the future to which his back is turned, while the pile of debris before him grows skyward. This storm is what we call progress."
