Laddership: Transforming Leadership from Transactional to Relational Frameworks ( By Nipun Mehta, Founder of ServiceSpace.org)

The Alliant International University and the California School of Management and Leadership (CSML) invites you to join our CSML Speaker Series.

Speaker: Nipun Mehta, Founder of ServiceSpace.org, President Obama’s appointee on a council for social change, the Dalai Lama’s recognized person as an Unsung Hero of Compassion, and Germany’s OOOM magazine’s member of Top 100 Most Inspiring People of 2018.

We imagine traditional leaders as people in charge, executing pathways and directing groups to new visions. However, as our institutions shift from predictable and mechanistic infrastructures to far more complex and emergent networks of interdependence, it is also inviting an evolution of our leadership models. We call it Laddership. From a plan-and-execute model to a search-and-amplify model, this shift invites us to consider multiple forms of wealth beyond money, pay attention to the edges in place of the center, and shift from transactional to relational frameworks.

In this session, Nipun Mehta will share insights from his laddership journey of starting a weekend project with 4 volunteers, almost 20 years ago, that has now turned into a thriving movement.
