CCBB: Joseph Jaworski - Generative Discovery and Synchronicity

Joseph Jaworski has devoted much of his life to exploring the
deeper dimensions of transformational leadership. As founder and
Chairman of both Generon International and the Global Leadership
Initiative, Joseph advises CEOs and senior executives in Fortune
500 companies. He specializes in the design and execution of large
scale organizational change as well as strategy formation and
implementation. Joseph began his professional career as an attorney
at Bracewell, a prominent international law firm, where he was a
senior partner and a member of the executive committee. In 1975, he
was elected as a fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers,
an honor awarded to the top 1% of American litigators. In addition,
he ran a successful horsebreeding operation (Circle J Enterprises)
and helped found several businesses including a life insurance
company and an oil refining company. In 1980, Joseph founded the
American Leadership Forum, a non-governmental organization
dedicated to strengthening collaborative civic leadership in the
United States. Ten years later, he joined the Royal Dutch/Shell
Group of companies in London to head Shell’s renowned team of
scenario planners. Under his leadership, the Shell team made a
fundamental shift in the way the company framed and used scenarios
as a tool for strategy formation. Joseph encouraged the company to
use scenarios not merely to adapt to different possible futures,
but to generate—to participate in bringing forth—better futures.
Joseph returned to the U.S. as a senior fellow and member of the
Board of Governors of the MIT Center for Organizational Learning,
later co-founding the Society for Organizational Learning (SoL).
Jaworski is the author of the critically acclaimed international
best-seller, Synchronicity: The Inner Path of Leadership (2nd
Edition released June 6, 2011). He is also co-author of Presence:
An Exploration of Profound Change in People, Organizations, and
Society (Doubleday/SoL, 2005), which explores the collaborative
development of a new theory of profound innovation and change.
Joseph's most recent book, Source: The Inner Path of Knowledge
Creation, was published in January 2012. That book describes the
development of the process of Generative Discovery, which enables
organizations, teams and individuals to access the source from
which truly profound innovation and discovery flow. Jaworski
currently resides in Austin, Texas.
