Out of Control: The Developmental Organization
Speakers
Description
Coaching transforms individuals—but what if it could transform organizations? In today’s complex world, leaders instinctively try to solve problems and stay in control, yet this often creates more issues. The Developmental Organization offers a new approach, shifting leaders from control to creating conditions—context, structure, and relationships.
Blending theory and application, this session explores how leadership coaching, team coaching, and organizational design come together to drive systemic change. Mike Hutchins—co-founder of ACT, adjunct faculty at Brown University, and author of upcoming book Out of Control—will provide actionable strategies to help coaches expand their impact beyond individuals.
