WHO IS OUR GUEST?

PETER BLOCK

Peter Block is an author, consultant and citizen of Cincinnati, Ohio. His work is about

empowerment, stewardship, chosen accountability and reconciliation of community. He is a

partner in Designed Learning, a training company that offers workshops designed to build

the skills outlined in his books. He is the author of Flawless Consulting, Stewardship, The Answer to How Is Yes, Community:The Structure of Belonging, and The Abundant Community, with John McKnight. Peter serves on the boards of Elementz, an urban arts

center, Cincinnati Public Radio, and LivePerson, a provider of online engagement solutions.

With other volunteers in Cincinnati, Peter began A Small Group, whose mission is to create

a new community narrative and to bring civic engagement into being. Peter’s work is in the

restoration of communities and creating a world that reclaims our humanity from the

onslaught of modernism.

“One core task of leadership is to build community. Our traditional strategies for dealing

with problems of performance, quality, cost and employee satisfaction are strong on

individualism and weak on community. Community, often confused with culture, is most

often treated as an afterthought, left to specialists to worry about. The dominant belief is

that laser-like goals, better controls, clearer consequences, more inspirational leadership,

and better systems will make a difference. They won’t. They are the problem, not the

solution. These strategies are incapable of transformation; they just make things a little

better.

This presentation is about the nature of real transformation and what kind of leadership is

required to achieve it. Transformation is a shift in the nature of things. It promises a culture

of chosen accountability, authentic commitment, and stronger social fabric, all elements of a

strong community. Peter will define how communal transformation is about leadership that

is independent of style, role modeling and holding people accountable.

Leadership is about changing the conversation. Leadership requires sophistication in the

methodology of convening, valuing listening over speaking, relationship over technology,

gifts over deficiencies and possibility over problem solving. Leadership is about being host,

not hero. Small groups are the unit of transformation, questions are the means, invitation is

the strategy. This session will be an example of what Peter talks about, so that the tools of

building community are demonstrated, not just discussed.”

“A community is defined by its narrative. All healing is

reconstructing our past in a more forgiving way.”
