In this conversation, Cole Hoover and Adam Kahane of Reos Partners explore the art of systems transformation through stories from Adam's remarkable career. They discuss how everyday habits create lasting change and why transformation must inherently be a collective activity. Adam shares insights from his forthcoming book, highlighting the value of collaboration, self-reflection, and making space for diverse perspectives. The dialogue explores how humility and vulnerability strengthen leadership and how skilled facilitation removes obstacles to allow natural emergence. The discussion also covers power dynamics in designing gathering and how inner transformation drives external change. Adam ultimately advocates for "radical engagement", an approach grounded in curiosity that addresses root causes and builds the long-term relationships necessary for sustainable transformation.
