Stewardship
Stewardship is a state of being where people see the whole and their role in it and accept responsibility for their role and the whole.

Systemic Global Themes and Patterns
Disconnect between self and cosmos: i.e. compromised stewardship
Disconnect between self and others: i.e. compromised outreach
Disconnect between self and Self: i.e. compromised piety
Trends: Three Streams Coming Together
1. Global civil society in the tradition of Gandhi and Martin Luther King
2. Action Science represented by Kurt Lewin and Edgar Schein
3. Mindfulness and awareness inherit in the essence of all the wisdom traditions
Our Role in the Whole
Evolution of Mental Models
Development of Leadership
What Does This Mean for the Church?
Evolution of Mental Models
“State Centric” – hierarchy and control
“Free Market” – markets and competition
“Social Market” – networks and negotiation
“Co-creative” – seeing and acting from the whole
Stages of Leadership Development
Stage 1 – Self centric Leaders: traditional, positional hierarchy
Stage 2 – Achieving Leaders: competition
Stage 3 – Servant Leaders: serve & develop stakeholders and others
Stage 4 – Renewing Leaders: breakthrough thinking, creating future
What Does This Mean for the Church?
What is our role in moving past industrial ways of thinking to co-creative ways of thinking to address some of the disconnects?
What is our role in developing the three streams of a global civil society, action science, and wisdom in our own leaders, congregations, and communities?
Accepting Responsibility for Our Role
Shifting from what we want to avoid to what we want (God wants) to bring into Reality:
Formation
Presence
Witness
Results they produce
Processes they use
Sources from which leaders operate
“What counts is not what leaders do and how they do it but their interior condition, the inner place from which they operate or the source from which all their actions originate.”
Otto Sharmer
Leaders: Focusing on the Source
Viewing Leadership from the:
Formation
Identity – who we are in God – our True Self
How we learn and become learning communities - open
Wisdom – knowing and living God’s ways in God’s world
Presence: Cultivating Inner Place
Open Minds – to data around us describing current reality of church and world
Open Hearts – to the real needs around us
Open our Wills - to what God is doing and surrendering to it.
