TEDxUtrechtUniversity-Saskia Teppema-The Four Elements

Executive coach Saskia Teppema will share the story of four elemental aspects of successful leadership and why they are important for building a sustainable future. Using a personal story to bring these concepts to life, Saskia introduces us to a character who helps us to understand how we can apply these ideas in our own lives.

About TEDx:
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxUtrechtUniversity, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxUtrechtUniversity event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

I liked this analogies. Also the 4 elements are necessary at differing degrees across the cycle of our growth of life.

Like the metaphor! And doesn't organisation imply something which is alive and has to be cared for instead of managed? A good example for how you can bring leadership to a higher level and to a sustainable stakeholders value.

Having been raised in California's agriculturally rich Central Valley, I thoroughly appreciate Ms. Teppema's key points linking sustainability in the worlds of organic farming and effective leadership. Her talk provides excellent food for thought, a challenge to action as well as touching humor. Thank you!
