Bridging Leadership Intervention: Understanding and co-creating the emerging leadership paradigm at Synergos

By Manish Srivastava

Abstract

This report provides a detailed analysis of the process, learning and insights generated from the Bridging Leadership (BL) development intervention at Synergos Institute. The aim of this report is to help the Synergos leaders and workshop participants to understand:

- the underlying process and challenges of a BL intervention,

- the systemic overview of Synergos leadership context (generated from their collective data) and

- the content/ process required to design BL intervention (relevant to Synergos networks)

At the end of each session a process insight box is provided that highlights various moments of flow (that enabled the shift in consciousness) and stuck-ness (that held the energy) during the workshop.

While co-designing and facilitating this workshop with Surita and Adele, I got an opportunity to understand the organizational and leadership context of Synergos Institute. In the last section of this report (Recommendations and Next steps) I have synthesized the learning generated, from the pre-workshop inquiry, research and workshop feedback. It highlights some paradoxes and possibilities for leadership and organizational development at Synergos, using BL knowledge and practices.
