Time to replace seminaries?

Time to replace seminaries?  
(How the LK10 Community develops leaders)
March 31, 2016  


The old process of leadership training.  Key words:  lecture (monologue) - classroom - teacher oriented - individualistic - theory - just in case learning - long time (think 3-4 years of seminary) - costly ($$$ for seminary)

I believe that the old leadership paradigm has failed us and that our current systems will continue to unravel" …If we are to resource our communities with new, life-affirming leadership, we need a very different model for how to educate and nourish leaders at a new level of scale.  -Margaret Wheatley, Organizational Consultant.

A new process of leadership training (actually it's also old because it's close to what Jesus did).  Key words:  dialogue - student oriented - learning in community - practice - just in time learning - rapid development of leaders - inexpensive

The concept "community of practice" was developed to illuminate that learning is a social experience. We humans learn best when in relationship with others who share a common practice...The literature on communities of practice is filled with stunning examples of how workers learn complex skills in rapid time when seated next to those who have the skill. And of how workers reach out electronically across the globe with a question to colleagues, and receive back immediate, expert advice that resolves a crisis or dilemma.  - Margaret Wheatley

A window into a "community of practice".  Barb Lidfors (and her husband, Bob) are LK10 Coordinators in Germany.  Click on Barb's picture to learn more about "communities of practice" and Barb's real life experience as she connected with and learned from LK10 friends in California, Wyoming, Norway, France and Russia in just one week.
