Game-changing Leadership for the Future
Xenergie and Eco-Leadership Institute Partner to Harness “Social Energy” through the Winds of Change
Xenergie, an organisation development company based in London, Melbourne and Galway, whose purpose is to “harness the power of human connection”, and Eco-Leadership Institute, a globally renowned global leadership learning provider and thought leader, are partnering to “unleash the social energy ” and accelerate up-skilling of leaders in game-changing their leadership in a more “systemic” (inter-connected) way.?? ?
Seismic reframing of the business landscape, fuelled by ESG, poor human wellbeing at work impacting performance, and organisations needing to be net-positive contributors to their communities and environments, exposes organisations even more to unforeseen risk related to the human connections in their organisations.
Says Lorna McDowell, CEO of Xenergie, “Socially-energised and systemically minded leaders anticipate change before it happens, they develop communities and networks and think with a wider, 'whole system' mindset.?? This involves constantly learning and harnessing connections across organisation boundaries, inside and outside their organisations and across the value chain, into a collective series of movements towards a shared common purpose. It means working consciously with human connections, rippling impacts and multiple goals and stakeholders.”
Dr Simon Western author of “Leadership – a Critical Text” and founder of Eco-Leadership Institute adds, “This contrasts the "linear" hierarchical management that has been the hallmark of the last century and which struggles in such times of massive change.?? Systemically-thinking leaders can power forward in comparison, because they put more attention to what happens on the boundaries of those human connections to create value for all.”

The partnering organisations are both well-established in their own right and have pioneered in the field of systemic leadership development for over 20 years, working across sectors coaching, developing and consulting on complex cultural situations and leadership behaviour. Their shared values and purpose to catalyse faster and wider innovation bring them together.??
McDowell states, “We advocate for ambition and energy towards re-imagining organisations and business communities, building new thinking, skills and collaborations that leverage faster breakthrough to new possibilities.?? From ESG to AI, an open leadership dialogue is required that fosters energy, hope and potential, enabling innovative and fruitful collaborations between private, charity, government and public sectors.”???
Dr Simon Western adds “This transition does take specialist knowledge at the outset and the skills need to be widely taught and applied at the point of use to get the propellors moving.? So, whilst our field has been quite niche until now,? it is now desperately needed.”?
