Virtuous Leadership Program: a conversation with Otto Scharmer, author Theory U and Presencing

In this conversation with members of Virtuous Company's Leadership Program (Programa Lideranças Virtuosas), Otto Scharmer distills a lifetime of wisdom on leadership and systems change. Dr. Scharmer is a Senior Lecturer at MIT and Founding Chair of the Presencing Institute, having dedicated the past 20 years to helping leaders embrace cross-sector systems transformation. He is an action researcher who co-creates innovations in learning and leadership that he delivers with institutions in business, governments and civil society around the world. Through his bestselling books “Theory U” and “Presence” (co-authored with Peter Senge and others, with whom we also had the honor to speak with last year), Prof. Scharmer introduced the groundbreaking concept of "presencing". He also co-authored “Leading from the Emerging Future: From Ego-system to Eco-system Economies" and, more recently, “Presencing: 7 Practices for Transforming Self, Society, and Business”. Prof. Scharmer co-founded the MITx u-lab, which has activated a vibrant worldwide ecosystem of transformational change involving more than 250,000 users from 186 countries. In collaboration with colleagues, he co-created global Action Learning Labs for UN agencies and SDG Leadership Labs for UN Country Teams in 26 countries, which support cross-sector initiatives for addressing urgent humanitarian crises.
