Generative leadership involves being present, connected, and adaptable to emergent situations. It requires a willingness to let go of one's own ideas and preferences, and instead be guided by a deeper wisdom that arises when we are open and accepting.
Shruthi Vijayakumar is a coach and mentor who teaches people to be comfortable with the unknown and to listen for wisdom. She helps people simplify their lives by examining their fundamental drivers and parts of their identity. Shruthi encourages leaders to work with, listen to, and be guided by nature.
Her journey towards generative leadership began with Theory U's Four Levels of Listening, and specifically the concept of generative listening. This is a moment when parties are in dialogue and listening from a place that’s not just about oneself.
For Shruthi, generative leadership means being open to working with nature, listening to and being guided by it.
