Leadership as Holding Space, Part 1

So many issues in our current world are too tangled and critical for ready answers.

Leaders are usually associated with speaking and acting, in the best-case scenario, helpfully. But there is a time for a leader not to speak, not to be leaping into action. Instead, there are times when a leader's best contribution is simply to be present and to hold space for what is important to emerge. It is a time to step back without stepping out. It is about making way for what is not yet known.

In Part 1 of our Leadership as Holding Space series, Dr. Kathy Bishop amplifies insights shared by Heather Plett in her book, The Art of Holding Space: A Practice of Love, Liberation, and Leadership, and explores the opportunities and barriers we face when holding leadership space.
