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 change—how it arises, and the fresh possibilities it offers a world dangerously out of balance. The book introduces the idea of “presence”—a concept borrowed from the natural world that the whole is entirely present in any of its parts—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. 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, Presence is both revolutionary in its exploration and hopeful in its message. This astonishing and completely original work goes on to define the capabilities that underlie our ability to see, sense, and realize new possibilities—in ourselves, in our institutions and organizations, and in society itself.

In this ground - breaking book, C. Otto Scharmer invites us to see the world in new ways.What we pay attention to, and how we pay attention is the key to what we create. What often prevents us from 'being present, 'is what Scharmer calls our blind spot, the inner place from which each of us operates. Becoming aware of our blind spot is critical to bringing forth the profound systemic changes so needed in business and society today.First introduced in Presence, the U methodology of leading profound change is expanded and deepened in Theory U. By moving through the ''U'' process we learn to connect to our essential Self in the realm of 'presencing' - a term coined by Scharmer. When 'presencing' we are able to see our own blind spot and pay attention in a way that allows us to experience the opening of our minds, our hearts, and our wills. Through this process we are able to shift our awareness to allow us to connect with our best future possibility - and to realize it. This edition is in two volumes. The second volume ISBN is 9781459637177.

EDITORIAL ELEFTHERIA SL

Vivimos en una época de fracasos institucionales masivos que se manifiestan en la destrucción de los fundamentos de nuestro bienestar social, económico, ecológico y espiritual. Afrontar estos retos requiere una nueva conciencia y una nueva capacidad de liderazgo colectivo. En este libro innovador, Otto Scharmer nos invita a ver el mundo de nuevas maneras y así descubrir un enfoque revolucionario para el liderazgo y el aprendizaje En la mayoría de los grandes sistemas de hoy creamos colectivamente resultados que nadie quiere. ¿Qué nos mantiene atascados en los patrones del pasado? Nuestro punto ciego, es decir, nuestra falta de conciencia del lugar interno desde donde nuestra atención e intención se originan. Al movernos a través del proceso U de Scharmer, accedemos conscientemente a nuestro punto ciego y aprendemos a conectarnos con nuestro Ser auténtico, la fuente más profunda de conocimiento e inspiración. Teoría U ofrece una rica diversidad de historias, ejemplos, ejercicios y prácticas convincentes que permiten a líderes, organizaciones y sistemas, copercibir y cocrear el futuro que está queriendo emerger. Esta segunda edición presenta un nuevo prefacio en el que Scharmer identifica cinco corrientes transformadoras y describe casos de estudio del proceso U en todo el mundo. También incluye ocho dibujos en color de Kelvy Bird que capturan las aplicaciones del viaje de la U e ilustran los conceptos del libro, así como nuevos recursos para aplicar los principios y las prácticas. «El modelo de la Teoría U de Scharmer sobre cómo abrir nuestra mente, nuestras emociones y nuestra voluntad a momentos de descubrimiento y comprensión mutua es profundo y muy necesario». Edgar Schein, Profesor Emérito de Dirección de la MIT Sloan School of Management «Otto Scharmer ha escrito un libro brillante, provocativo, importante y a la vanguardia del pensamiento integral. Muy recomendable». Ken Wilber, filósofo y escritor.
