Generative Change and Generative Leadership: A Conversation with Gervase Bushe

Описание: This is the fifth video produced in the ‘Just in Case…’ mini-series sponsored by Quality and Equality. In this video, Gervase Bushe, a leader together with Bob Marshak in Dialogic OD, speaks to us about generative change consulting, how it differs from the traditional planned change approach, and details the generative change model with examples. He also spoke to us about what is generative leadership. The five questions we asked him are:

1. What is dialogic organisation development?
2. What are the three enablers of transformation?
3. What is the traditional planned change approach?
4. What is a generative image? (eg. Stress Free Customer Service)
5. What is generative leadership?
