書籍簡介

我們生活在一個制度嚴重失靈的時代，其表現形式為三大劃分:生態、社會和精神。應對這些挑戰需要一種新的意識和集體領導能力。在這本開創性的書中，奧托·沙默邀請我們以新的方式看世界，並在這樣做中發現一種革命性的方法來學習和領導。在今天的大多數大型系統中，我們共同創造了沒有人想要的結果。是什麼讓我們陷在過去的這種模式中?這是我們的盲點，也就是説，我們缺乏對內在的意識，而內在正是我們注意力和意圖的來源。通過Scharmer的U型過程，我們有意識地進入了盲點，並學會了連接到真實的自我——最深層的知識和靈感來源。理論U提供了豐富多樣的引人注目的故事、例子、練習和實踐，讓領導者、組織和更大的系統去理解和理解將要出現的未來。在第二版中，Scharmer識別了五種轉型趨勢，並描述了世界各地的案例。還有八幅由Kelvy Bird繪製的彩色圖畫，捕捉了U旅程的應用，並闡明瞭書中的概念，以及應用原則和實踐的新資源。

We live in a time of massive institutional failure that manifests in the form of three major divides: the ecological, the social, and the spiritual. Addressing these challenges requires a new consciousness and collective leadership capacity. In this groundbreaking book, Otto Scharmer invites us to see the world in new ways and in so doing discover a revolutionary approach to learning and leadership. In most large systems today, we collectively create results that no one wants. What keeps us stuck in such patterns of the past? It's our blind spot, that is, our lack of awareness of the inner place from which our attention and intention originate. By moving through Scharmer's U process, we consciously access the blind spot and learn to connect to our authentic Self--the deepest source of knowledge and inspiration. Theory U offers a rich diversity of compelling stories, examples, exercises, and practices that allow leaders, organizations, and larger systems to cosense and coshape the future that is wanting to emerge. This second edition features a new preface in which Scharmer identifies five transformational trends and describes U process case stories around the world. There are also eight color drawings by Kelvy Bird that capture U journey applications and illustrate the concepts in the book, as well as new resources for applying the principles and practices.
