Corpus Optima Senior Partner and Complexity Science Advisor Chris Welsh and I have been discussing this experience of emergence.  Complexity Science provide the night goggles to see the intangible field of culture – especially the physics of transformation.

Nonlinear Interactions. Emergence. Increasing Returns. Self-Organization.

One Tuesday morning’s return to Houston, in The Superperforming CEO Book Tour & Executive Seminar, sponsored by Oracle, Club Corp, Old Live Oak Books, American Prudential Capital, Visible Applause!, and CEO Netweavers, we will explore what it  looks like when an organization’s right brain hemisphere is liberated – creating “organizational “mind wide open” – through 15 distinctions –   unconventional paradigms, patterns and people. They are new and they come straight from the Superperformance frontier. Together we will answer the question, “What does the discovery of  The Superperforming CEO pattern say about what to lead and what to manage?”

Further, this shockingly straightforward and accessible ‘steady state’ (“Superperformance”) is not only a condition available to organizations – it can also be produced in projects, communities, schools, and in many other systems. These exciting implications are nothing short of profound for distributed leaders and managers everywhere. On Tuesday, we will use this new knowledge to provoke personal action. We will add the missing optimization hemisphere and re-invent the concept of executive to include both hemispheres and both tasks. Hence “Tacking” one of the most prominent expressions of this “fluttering at the end of the flag” as David Marsila so poetically describes it.

We’re going to explore Superpeformance through the lens of physics and biology together. We’re going to inform the living condition of the organization as we pull back the skin of biology and the lessons from improvement science. (homeostasis, feedback, system flow, interdependence of parts) and we will also apply the physics (self-organization, steady state, phase transition, nonlinear interactions, fractal self-reference, simple rules) of Superperformance  to learn how to repeatedly unleash the Superhero that is available to all of us.
