Non Linear Leadership

I attended a presentation today by Sami on non-linear leadership.

Two main concepts I took away from this discussion:

1. There are three realms: The past, present, and future. Both the past  and future realm exist only in conversation (either internal or external). The present is the realm of action.
   
2. People tend to cycle back and forth between the past and present. The conversation of the past influences the actions in the present. Nonlinear leadership is about breaking that cycle.
   
   While still honoring and learning from the past, nonlinear leaders make decisions in the present that are based on a desired future rather than the past. 

Sami believes this is key for Israel and Palestine. He wants to see more people taking pause in the present to think of new and creative ways to act and begin building a peaceful future.
