Learning to make trade-off between wanting get diversity of thinking (which takes time) and need to make decisions short term.
Simon and Andi Winter
33:31
this time and challenge is a truly cross-system and complex one and I am looking forward to how to embrace the challenges across systems in ways that can make a positive impact both in the context of the crisis response but also as a way of working for the future
Siobhan McCann
33:34
I was compelled to hear the voice of the mentor and friend who first empowered me to begin to question how we live and move and work in the world.
Wendy Moomaw

Complexity has felt playful in the past and while it’s present, I’m noticing there is more left to discover that may better ground me during this time.

I’ve met you, Zafer, and read your work, yet not had a chance to be in a session like this with you. That plus the universe is telling me it’s time to spend even more time with this community

Have a passion for all things, integration
alexia larmaraud

Beautiful analogy :)
Tim Perkins

To just stop and listen at a time when we may not always be stopping and listening
Carolyn Coughlin
38:28
To see your first community concert! And to be in community with others who think this work is important.
Amiel Handelsman
39:04
Jennifer, thanks for stepping in there to close the loop on Zafer’s question to the group. Timely action!
anita vandevivere
40:56
I’m familiar with the model - so great to hear your perspective
Vlad Stefan Lichtenthal
43:09
If you are familiar with this version, you should have a look at the current 'liminal' version.
Asha Singh
43:27
Yes Vlad Stefan
Wendy Moomaw
45:29
Recently, data came out from Germany and the Netherlands about safe social distancing while running. While the research was collected, it was not reviewed and the notes in the paper were that they felt releasing the information was more important and then they would go back to peer review it and get it formally published. What domains are present in this example?
Henri Fortuin
50:40
Probe-Sense-Respond? Complex
Elise Willer
51:33
I’m a little confused, whats the difference between states of “disorder” and “chaotic”
johanne lavoie
51:49
do challenge exists in a domain of framework or do we use the map to make sense of any challenge
Mike G. Katz
51:50
I would like to explore “irrational” responses to what is knowable. In the US, this model depends on how we socially construct it
johanne lavoie
52:20
for example, would a bushfire or covid not include elements of all?
Vlad Stefan Lichtenthal
53:16
Nothing includes all elements. They are different ontologies!
Asha Singh
53:49
a different way to consider "disorder" is that we sense and explore what is happening before deciding how to respond, not that it is a place of confusion...move into a liminal place
Mike G. Katz
54:17
“misunderstanding” according to whom?
Gerhard Helm
54:41
Is this a model which reflects our current knowledge/ competence/ state fo science - or are some challenges in principle are in a specific domain?
Elise Willer
55:08
helpful, thank you
Carolyn Coughlin
55:19
I tend to think of “unconscious disorder” and “conscious disorder” The former is the state from which we just react according to the ways we are conditioned to react, the latter is intentional.
alexia larmaraud
55:33
Thank you fo rthe clarifitcation
Amiel Handelsman
56:06
Discerning which of these systems you are encountering is itself a mental demand on our own capacity to handle complexity, is it not? Unless we rely on an expert to tell us where we are
Jo Ilfeld
56:12
thanks Caroline!
Mike G. Katz
56:41
+1 with Amiel.
Asha Singh
58:51
good description @Carolyn
jennifer garvey berger
01:01:21
Amiel, I think of it as a demand and also a support for our growing our capacity to handle complexity
Amiel Handelsman
01:01:52
Jennifer, good point: both/and.
jennifer garvey berger
01:02:09
How do these ideas shed light on your experience and your response to Covid 19?Quick sharing of storiesCome back with: 1 insight and 1 question
Jo Ilfeld
01:15:47
our group discussed how we all try to find the rhythms and structure to put into our lives
Adam Bauer
01:15:50
I wish I did not have to leave early, but go I must. Bless you all!

01:16:02
Would love to see your questions and insights here!
Flavio Kosminsky
01:16:06
I would disagree
Flavio Kosminsky
01:16:13
To Mike
Grady McGonagill
01:16:13
is COVID best characterized as complex or chaotic? (we assume it can have elements of both)
Ginna Martin
01:16:14
Amazing article on grief that I want to share with the community: That Discomfort You’re Feeling Is Griefhttps://hbr.org/2020/03/that-discomfort-youre-feeling-is-grief
Henri Fortuin
01:16:16
Breakout 6: is the problem out there or in our head. Is it a matter of framing?
Anabel Fall
01:16:17
we discussed chaos as facts and insights constantly change
Mark Roberts
01:16:25
Is the difference between chaos and complexity in the world or in our framing? Historians operate from a complex place - seeking, with hindsight, to understand cause and affect. If you are a peasant caught in a revolution, it feels like chaos.
Simon and Andi Winter
01:16:26
Insight: lots of the actions happenig around the medical response, search for vaccines, health responses are in the complicated box
Hakan Silfverlin
01:16:27
Insight: Importance of working with frameworks like these. Question: how do we train ourselves best in our day to day lives
James McLean
01:16:39
we made some connections between the domains and some emotional intelligence domains that also offer benefits and drawbacks if the leader can use 'a toggle' to navigate around them
Carolyn Groobey
01:16:50
Insight: Many leaders confuse complex and chaos and the actions you take in each state are different
Vlad Stefan Lichtenthal
01:17:06
We have to mention the unforeseeable unintended consequences and manage constraints, catalysts and energy.
Wendy Moomaw
01:17:34
We seem to move from our “home base” on the cynevin framework. And from there, try to make more or less sense. A question I have, is whether there can be a dissonance between the cognitive processing of the human and what’s emerging in the body and be operating in two different systems simultaneously. If yes, I wonder if that needs to be integrated inside the self to adapt.
Betsy Miller
01:17:35
Observation: In times of unprecedented uncertainty about health, safety, and economics, it’s even more challenging than usual for organizational leaders to openly lead with grounded curiosity. This requires vulnerability and courage — and it relinquishes the ability to grant teams certainty. In professions that value being an “expert” at the expense of the learner’s mindset, this is a formidable task.
Simon and Andi Winter
01:17:42
Question: what are examples from the pandemic in the complex versus chaotic boxes and what makes them different?
Fahad Punjwani
01:17:53
I’m curious about the obvious vs. complex as the ‘true psychologically safe zone’. I heard in our breakout that ‘obvious’ was the safe zone that we crave. Is that really true? Zafer said that nature and people naturally gather around the complex and I wonder if the resistance and instability comes from our leadership/training/containers pushing us from choatic to obvious rather than enabling us to handle the complex.
Henri Fortuin
01:18:00
Asymptomatic spreading - can this be modelled? Chaos?
Betsy Miller
01:18:43
Question: How does the Complexity Thinking model overlay with the various models of adult ego development / stages? There is a need both to lead with complex thinking and also to meet people where they are.
Wendee Wolfson
01:18:52
Personal insight: Many think the responses around medical supply access and distribution are in complicated domain when there are many factors that are deeply underestimated in their complexity.
Mercy Martinez
01:19:06
This has given me the opportunity to see we are experiencing the full framework depending of our awareness and how much we are aware of our unconscious patterns.
Hannes Shariputra Chopra
01:19:19
Insight: COVID brings us into the chaotic mode. In Chaotic being able to survive and having the basics covered could actually be considered success.
Sandra W
01:19:26
what are the humanities or human capacities do we need to develop in different situations? it is always gene in the environment. :)
Marie Pace
01:19:48
Insight: Lots of examples of how the sense-making about this situation has been misaligned with the context and how this has generated chaos.
Stephen Finch
01:19:50
How do we help our colleagues build the capacity to respond to complexity?
Hannes Shariputra Chopra
01:19:54
Question: Isn’t it human nature that even in chaotic we make it somehow move to obvious (to have some regularity, simplicity, processes)?!
suzan Stub
01:20:08
i would suggest that it is COVID that is the Chaos but the repsosibile parties that create the crisis a/ chos and that creates the disorder we expericne
Amiel Handelsman
01:20:14
Insight: In “Coronavirus: The Hammer and the Dance,” Tomas Pueyo suggests that we’ve first locked down and what’s next is a dance where we put certain people back to work, test, see what happens. This proposal is a fine example of Probe, Sense, Respond.
Simon and Andi Winter
01:20:25
How do we ensure that as things start to open up we stay awake and don't allow homeostasis call us back to what we have always done \/
suzan Stub
01:20:25
Not COVID that is chaos
Sandra Ellison
01:20:51
I think its a mistake to lump all things about medical aspects of the virus into complicated space exclusively. There are things about the virus that are complex, and we make mistakes to respond to it with complicated solutions.
alexia larmaraud
01:21:43
I need to drop - thank you so much for hosting us Amy, and thank you Zafer & Jennifer for leading us on this path. I look forward to watching the 2nd part in the recording
gila Ancel Seritcioglu
01:22:46
Is it that Covid is chaotic or the way our governments have handled it has turned it to chaos.?
Wendy Moomaw
01:23:09
+1 Sandra - the signals of what is working in defining medical solutions and learning simultaneously feels beyond complicated.
suzan Stub
01:23:24
@ gila i tend to agree with you… COVID is just an organism trying o survive … from one perspective
Amiel Handelsman
01:23:25
One add: we in the U.S. have yet to consider from a mature perspective the unintended consequences of massive unemployment, which could even be measured in medical and health terms—depression, suicide, domestic violent, death, etc. Our dear president in the U.S. has referenced some of these but have we discussed at a mature level? hmmm…
Ronna Warsh
01:23:36
There is much stress created in life and death situations and complexity Leaders need to get support for their own adrenaline and anxiety in order to stay grounded and make decisions that are in the best interest of others
Eva Damsgaard
01:23:43
so true
Elizabeth Izzo
01:24:27
Can we get link of quote please?
Vlad Stefan Lichtenthal
01:24:38
Have you seen any political leader grow beyond his or her former self?
Nils Belich
01:24:55
Thank you very much for this gathering - what a delight to be connected with so many highly intelligent and kind human beings. May you all be happy!
Amiel Handelsman
01:27:12
Vlad, I don’t know but by some accounts Angela Merkel has found a moment that calls forth her strengths—scientific mindset, calm, caution with a new twist of compassion
Terry Finerty
01:28:10
Many people claim the NZ Prime Minister has grown, if not beyond herself, at least to the very high bar she has already set
Eva Damsgaard
01:28:22
The prime minister in Denmark, Mette Frederiksen, has grown in such a beautiful way...
Siobhán McCann
01:28:25
@Vlad Leo Varadkar (PM of Ireland) is manifesting great leadership growth of late
Siobhán McCann
01:29:31
IMHO
Eva Damsgaard
01:30:21
Yes, Vlad!! The DF party almost disappeared due to the ways she has developed...

Anyone here familiar with the horizontal system, the Enneagram? It suggests there are nine patterned defaults for dealing with complexity and nine paths of growth. Different strokes for different folks.

My question is “ Is there a ‘right’ perspective?”

01:40:04
I find myself refusing to look at the extreme downsides

I avoid thinking about those in real poverty, whether here in NYC or favelas in Brasil or slums in Indian cities, etc.

Want to be sure everyone knows that the Mobius Cares portion of our website has last week’s webinar from Mobius Senior Expert Terry Real, relationship therapist, on marital conflict during Covid.

Holding a perspective is not taking on a perspective = opposable mind

Can you ever step out of a system? When you do so you create a fixed view that doesn’t really exist. It is just like a photograph. Then I interpret the photo but I am never actually outside that system. Is that not an illusion?
