Presence: Human Purpose and the Field of the Future

Presence: Human Purpose and the Field of the Future

Presence is an intimate look at the development of a new theory about change and learning. In wide-ranging conversations held over a year and a half, organizational learning pioneers Peter Senge, C. Otto Scharmer, Joseph Jaworski, and Betty Sue Flowers explored the nature of transformational changeâ€”how it arises, and the fresh possibilities it offers a world dangerously out of balance. The book introduces the idea of â€œpresenceâ€â€”a conceptÂ borrowed from the natural worldÂ that the whole is entirely present in any of its partsâ€”to the worlds of business, education, government, and leadership. Too often, the authors found, we remain stuck in old patterns of seeing and acting. By encouraging deeper levels of learning, we create an awareness of the larger whole, leading to actions that can help to shape its evolution and our future.
Â
Drawing on the wisdom and experience of 150 scientists, social leaders, and entrepreneurs, including Brian Arthur, Rupert Sheldrake, Buckminster Fuller, Lao Tzu, and Carl Jung,Â Presence is both revolutionary in its exploration and hopeful in its message.Â This astonishing and completely original work goes on to define the capabilities that underlie our ability to see, sense, and realize new possibilitiesâ€”in ourselves, in our institutions and organizations, and in society itself.
