Okay, I’ve started reading the Gerzon book on conflict. I’ve hardly read anything yet, so I don’t particularly have a real update on what the book says compared to the Associations Now article. However, in response to Dina’s comment, there are more than four skills that Gerzon says a leader needs. In the article, Gerzon mentions integral vision, inquiry, conscious conversation, and dialogue. The book has eight core skills, and the other four are systems thinking, presence, bridging, and innovation. I am eager to read about these, but I think the list of eight is certainly more comprehensive than the first four.
