What a great experience I had at the Grubb Institute’s experientiallearning event entitled PASSION PurposePotency: Releasing UntappedResources In People And Organizations. Itwas held November 9 – 16, 2011, in Hazlmere, England.

There were 43 of us living in an intentional community for 8days, 11 Participant Staff Co-Creators and 32 Participant Member Co-Creators. We established a temporary organization. We came together from England, Wales,Ireland, Holland, South Africa, Israel, and the US.

Our common connection was a “desire to take up our different roles to work to the purpose of theevent, to develop a spirit of enquiry into the lived experience of leadershipand followership in an emergent co-created organization in order to seed ourday to day roles with the resources to respond passionately, purposefully andpotently to what is being called forth from leaders in our evolving andtransforming World.”

My three take-aways for me in regard to organizationalsystems and leadership:

Clear roleboundaries and two-way communication are essential “for the sake of” theorganization.
As aleader, connect to “source” to be a “re-source”; the spiritual connectedness ofthe leader.
Clarity ofthe role one is playing in an organization and what is needed “for the sake of”” the organization.

Personally, for me I realized …

A deep sense of connection to my life of 60 years andexcitement for all that is yet to be!
The Global ClergyLeadership Initiative is a worthy vision and I now know people in the worldwho are ready to assist its creation -- one step at a time.
I have been blessed with a unique set of talents, abilities,education, experiences, friends & family, and I honor God by being me.
A profoundawareness of love and appreciation formy wife Betty.
Gratitude for the support of friends and colleagues to participate in this wonderful event!

In the new year of 2012 I look forward to the next step increating a Global Clergy LeadershipInitiative.
