Leading Complexity: Modeling What the Moment Needs
summary
Frames leadership as “a capacity for taking the lead to follow what matters when outcomes are uncertain”, and uses Domain-Driven Design, EventStorming and a six‑conversation toolkit (descent, possibility, invitation, ownership, commitment, gifts) to model conversations as leadership. Uses interactive methods — popcorn sharing, solo 20s silence, prompt cards — reports a failed EventStorming session that flips to success after naming hurdles and inviting choice, and counts an average of ~10 years × ~200 attendees as two millennia of experience.
