“Leadership is not scarce. Our systems just make it so.”

Posted on by 🌍 Murph 🌍

Most of us were trained to behave like widgets. -Stay in lane. -Wait for permission. -Optimise your function. But humans are not components. We are sensing, creative, relational, meaning-seeking beings. That’s why working in Dynamic Self-Organising Teams (D-SOTs) feels so different. Because in D-SOTs: -Leadership circulates. -Intelligence is shared. -Responsibility is human again. -And something … Continue reading “Leadership is not scarce. Our systems just make it so.”

AI isn’t dangerous. Misaligned systems are.

Posted on by 🌍 Murph 🌍

AI optimises brilliantly. But optimisation without restraint starts to feel inhuman. Not because machines are evil — but because they’re shaped by environments where winning is everything. That’s how systems end up behaving like the dark tetrad: cold, extractive, manipulative — without intending harm. AI doesn’t feel brittleness. It doesn’t pause at ethical edges. It … Continue reading AI isn’t dangerous. Misaligned systems are.

Posted on by 🌍 Murph 🌍

Men have spent centuries being shaped for obedience. Empires, institutions, and markets all depend on men who follow orders without asking too many questions. Over time, this obedience becomes confused with virtue. But the kind of personalities most comfortable issuing such orders are rarely the wisest. Modern psychology identifies a cluster of traits — the … Continue reading When Obedience Becomes the Problem

Walk with the Living World

Posted on by 🌍 Murph 🌍

Every day we pass trees, flowers, and plants. Most of us don’t truly see them. We’ve been trained to treat green things as mechanisms, objects — resources to be managed or ignored. That way of looking is the same mechanistic story that’s pushed us toward crisis. From cradle to grave we learn to put “nature” … Continue reading Walk with the Living World

Real change doesn’t come from telling people what to think!

Posted on by 🌍 Murph 🌍

Gentle movement and shared rhythm naturally increase anandamide, serotonin, and … Continue reading Real change doesn’t come from telling people what to think!

Most business leaders are too busy to think!?

Posted on by 🌍 Murph 🌍

That’s the problem. -When you never slow down, you lose perspective. -When you stay indoors, immersed in noise, you drift from reality. The smartest leaders know this: * You don’t find clarity by pushing harder — you find it by stepping back. * That’s where coaching and nature come in. Walking in wild spaces shifts … Continue reading Most business leaders are too busy to think!?
