Agreement leadership is provided by the conscious agreements we create with each other, including shared visions, goals, decisions, understandings and contracts. We consent to these shaping our thoughts, feelings, behaviors and lives. Agreement leaders are people who help others to generate agreements and to live by them. Agreement leadership provides coherence. Creative leadership can also be provided by accidents, challenging events, randomizing computer programs, or creative group processes like brainstorming.
Creative leadership provides change.
Sooner or later a creative leader or event breaks the spell and a new cycle of leadership begins. Participatory style - Leaders interact with other participants as peers to see what they can discover and create together. In participatory mode, everyone in the group leads according to their competence, insight, experience, or passion in ways that others can and do honor and follow. The leaders deal with the problem in whatever way will best enhance and sustain the self-organizing energy of the system, which then blossoms forth or surges ahead. Evocative style - Leaders try to draw out the potential capabilities of the system with questions, observational feedback, visions of possibilities, modelling an exploratory attitude, etc.
