You Have to Work with the Resistance: Adam Kahane
Manage episode 504354299 series 3687904
Collaborating across differences, embracing unpredictability, and balancing power with love: these are the keys to transforming your organization's most challenging dilemmas.
Adam Kahane teaches us that meaningful change often demands working with people we don't agree with, like, or trust. He calls it "radical collaboration."
Think you need alignment before taking action? Think again.
Kahane's most counterintuitive insight is that you need far less agreement than you think to collaborate effectively. Simply connecting as fellow humans provides enough foundation to move forward together.
For change leaders navigating complex transformation, Kahane offers a powerful framework: integrate power (self-realization), love (unity), and justice (fair relationships).
Without this balance, power becomes "reckless and abusive," while love remains "sentimental and anemic."
Kahane's wisdom from transforming social systems — from organizations to entire countries — will challenge your assumptions about collaboration and control.
Change Signal. Cut through the blather, the BS, and the noise to find the good stuff that works in change, transformation, and growth.
