Theory U: Leading from the Future as It Emerges

Principal Investigator Claus Scharmer


What we pay attention to, and how we pay attention -- both individually and collectively -- is key to what we create. What often prevents us from “attending” is what Scharmer calls our “blind spot,” the inner place from which each of us operates. Learning to become aware of our blind spot is critical to bringing forth the profound systemic changes needed in business and society. By moving through the “U” process we learn to connect to our essential Self in the realm of presencing -- a term that combines the present with sensing.
