How to Design for Protection
(Host Leadership Practices Explored)
[if you are not yet a Medium member, continue with this link]
The present piece is yet another in a series of Host Leadership, Explored. I have spent a good part of the last few years in my career with the development of a pedagogy of Host Leadership. There are many aspects to this. Host Leadership is three things in particular:
(1) a design feature (a designed affordance, made space for in the design of communities and organizations),
(2) an ethical/philosophical stance in life and work, and
(3) a practical framework for everyday application at the workplace.
In order to be these three things, Host Leadership offers a set of at least four leadership perspectives, and no less than six deliberate leadership activities (sometimes known as “accountabilities”). The present piece is about one of the latter.
Host Leadership is like a big woodland prepared by design, where I walk with my team and there are at least six fields of action I feel the urge to take care of, for the betterment of the woods and us all.
