| dc.description.abstract | This chapter presents a view of leadership as soul opening spaces for adaptive work. The central role of the interior condition of the leader in creating a holding environment is framed by seeing soul on the balcony, enabling a view of the virtuality of self. This view is used as a foundation to examine self-leadership, learning, and development. These are further explored in relation to contextual complexity issues, cognitive and ego development. Implications, neuroplasticity, and neurocardiology are examined to make explicit links between soul and the dynamic nature of the virtuality of self. The importance of coherence is linked to the quality of the fields the self generates and how they create holding environments. The chapter concludes by describing how soul creates a field of awareness that opens spaces and creates holding environments. | en_US |
