Radical Engagement: How to Work With, Not Against, Broken Systems   Radical Engagement: 7 Everyday Habits for Transforming Systems   We blame “the system,” but systems are just elements + relationships + results. If that's true, then changing a system means changing how we relate and respond—daily. Adam Kahane, author of Everyday Habits for Transforming Systems, shares seven habits that let ordinary people move complex issues forward—at work, in community, and at home.   Key Points: Radical Engagement (the umbrella). Engage with the system—alert, curious, relational—rather than lecturing at it. Reflect: Where am I “arms-crossed”? What would leaning forward look like this week? Relate in Three Dimensions. Actors: parts of a whole working toward an outcome. Parties: distinct interests and incentives. Kin: fellow humans with dignity and emotion. Reflect: Which dimension do I overuse? Which do I ignore? Look for What's Unseen (and unheard). We discover blind spots by listening to people in other positions in the system. Reflect: Who sees what I can't? Who's the one person I should interview this week? Work with the Cracks. Systems aren't smooth; they're full of fissures where change can start. Reflect: Where's one small opening I can ring “the bell that still can ring”? Experiment a Way Forward. Run small, safe-to-try tests instead of debating perfect plans. Reflect: What's a 2-week experiment I can launch with current resources? Collaborate with Unlike Others. We don't need identical values to work together; cities function because strangers cooperate daily. Reflect: Which “unlike other” is essential to my goal—and how can I invite them in? Persevere—and Rest. System shifts take years; pace yourself so you can stay in the game. Reflect: What boundary or rhythm would keep me sustainably engaged?   Money Learning: Profit follows structure and structure follows relationships. Your market, team, vendors, and regulators are the system. Profitable change happens when you: map incentives (party dimension), humanize conflict (kin), and design experiments that prove value quickly (actors).   Key Takeaway: Don't wait for perfect alignment or a perfect leader. Practice one habit in one crack this week.   Guest Bio: Adam Kahane is a renowned facilitator and author who has helped leaders across the world—from South Africa's transition to democracy to cross-sector climate initiatives—work together across deep differences. His latest book is Everyday Habits for Transforming Systems.   Links: https://reospartners.com/our-people/adam-kahane https://reospartners.com/ LinkedIn- https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-kahane/ Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/reospartners/   If this episode sparked an idea, share it with a leader who's stuck in a “system problem.” Then try one small experiment this week and tell me how it goes.   Richer Soul Ep 262 - Facilitating Breakthrough: How to Remove Obstacles, Bridge Differences, and Move Forward Together with Adam Kahane: https://richersoul.com/?s=262   #RicherSoul #SystemsThinking #Leadership #Collaboration #PersonalGrowth #Purpose #InnerWealth #RadicalEngagement #ListenToUnderstand #CultureChange     Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@richersoul Richer Soul Life Beyond Money.

Halo dan selamat datang di INIKOPER. Dalam setiap episode, kita akan menyelami ide-ide yang mengubah cara kita memandang dunia. Hari ini, kita akan berbicara tentang sistem—bukan sistem komputer atau biologi, tetapi sistem sosial, politik, dan ekonomi yang membentuk kehidupan kita. Sering kali, sistem ini terasa tak tergoyahkan dan kita merasa tidak berdaya di hadapannya. Namun, bagaimana jika kita bisa menjadi agen perubahan, bukan hanya korban dari keadaan? Kita akan mengeksplorasi konsep keterlibatan radikal dari buku Adam Kahane, Everyday Habits for Transforming Systems. Kita akan membahas mengapa sistem itu berubah, mengapa sistem itu tidak berubah, dan bagaimana tujuh kebiasaan sederhana, seperti bekerja dengan "retakan" dan berkolaborasi dengan orang yang "tidak seperti" kita, dapat memberdayakan kita untuk menciptakan dunia yang lebih adil dan terhubung. Jadi, siapkan diri Anda, karena kita akan memulai perjalanan untuk memahami dan mengubah dunia, satu kebiasaan pada satu waktu. Mari kita mulai!

The question the book asks is obviously transforming the system is not an individual task, it's a collective activity. But it still begs the question, if we're trying to contribute to that, what do we need to do? Not every four years when we vote, not every year when we go to a strategy workshop, but what do we do every day? And so the title is very straightforward: Everyday Habits for Transforming Systems. And that's the question the book is offering an answer to.My second conversation with writer, facilitator and consultant Adam Kahane (the first was episode e219) and with the audience at the Ottawa launch of Everyday Habits for Transforming Systems, the Catalytic Power of Radical Engagement at Perfect Books on July 2, 2025. This final regular episode of season 6 is part of my roundtable series, open-ended conversations about what a group of citizens are passionate about. And passionate they were! I started by asking Adam why he wrote the book and why does he think it's relevant today, in particular here in the nation's capital at a time when there are great tensions with our neighbours to the south and when Canadians are talking to each other more than ever about our shared values, and the challenges that we face such as the ecological crisis and climate emergency, which sadly seems to have temporarily fallen off our collective radar. Show notes generated by Whisper Transcribe AIAction pointsEmbrace radical engagement: Lean into understanding diverse perspectives and actively seek common ground.Recognize the power of everyday habits: Focus on daily actions to create lasting systemic change.Navigate complexity: Balance working towards a larger goal with acknowledging individual interests and power dynamics.Collaborate across differences: Seek opportunities to work with those who hold different views to achieve meaningful progress.Act responsibly: Consider the broader impact of your actions on all living beings.Story PreviewWhat if the key to changing the world lies not in grand gestures, but in the small, often overlooked habits of our daily lives? Adam Kahane shares his journey from facilitating transformative dialogues in South Africa to uncovering the power of radical engagement, inviting us to rethink how we contribute to a better future. Chapter Summary00:00 The Collective Task of Transformation01:19 Introducing Adam Kahane04:01 Setting the Stage for Discussion09:40 The Motivation Behind the Book15:42 Everyday Habits for Transformation22:39 Exploring the Seven Habits29:12 The Slippery Slope of Disagreement and The Challenge of Acting Responsibly35:20 Power Dynamics in Collaboration39:40 Trust and Collaboration44:00 Balancing Urgency and Everyday Habits54:25 Art, Culture, and Collaboration56:13 Radical Engagement in Action01:00:05 Navigating Power Dynamics and The Importance of Agency01:12:51 Redefining Power and Responsibility01:17:04 Risks and Realities of Engagement01:23:13 The Complexity of Multiple SystemsFeatured QuotesTransforming the system is not an individual task. It's a collective activity.Radical engagement is the opposite of standing back with your arms crossed saying, take it or leave it.Ring the bells you still can ring. Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. (quoting Leonard Cohen)Behind the StoryAdam Kahane's latest book, ‘Everyday Habits for Transforming Systems,' stems from a moment of confusion during an interview with South African leader Trevor Manuel. This experience led Kahane to explore what it means to contribute to systemic change, focusing on the everyday actions that shape our world. This episode explores themes of power, collaboration, and social responsibility and how the arts weave their way through all of this. Credit: cover photo by Conyer Clayton *END NOTES FOR ALL EPISODESHey conscient listeners, I've been producing the conscient podcast as a learning and unlearning journey since May 2020 on un-ceded Anishinaabe Algonquin territory (Ottawa).

Terobosan Fasilitasi, atau yang dikenal sebagai "Transformative Facilitation," adalah pendekatan kuat untuk membantu kelompok-kelompok yang "macet" atau menghadapi perbedaan mendalam agar bisa maju bersama. Ini berbeda dari fasilitasi biasa karena tidak hanya fokus pada kelancaran pertemuan, tetapi juga pada mengatasi hambatan nyata terhadap kontribusi, koneksi, dan keadilan. Pendekatan ini terinspirasi dari karya mendalam Adam Kahane dalam bukunya "Facilitating Breakthrough: How to Remove Obstacles, Bridge Differences, and Move Forward Together". Pentingnya Terobosan Fasilitasi terletak pada kemampuannya untuk menangani masalah-masalah kompleks di dunia yang semakin tidak pasti, di mana kontrol tradisional sering kali tidak efektif. Di tengah keragaman pendapat dan konflik, fasilitasi ini memungkinkan terjadinya kolaborasi yang bermakna. Tujuannya adalah membantu orang-orang yang berbeda latar belakang untuk berbicara secara konstruktif, menemukan solusi inovatif bersama, dan mengambil tindakan konkret yang sebelumnya terasa mustahil. Dalam praktiknya, Terobosan Fasilitasi melibatkan serangkaian "langkah luar" (outer moves) seperti bertanya dan menyimpulkan, serta "pergeseran batin" (inner shifts) seperti keterbukaan dan pelepasan prasangka. Fasilitator belajar untuk secara fleksibel beralih antara pendekatan yang lebih terarah dan kolaboratif, menyesuaikan diri dengan kebutuhan kelompok. Ini bukan sekadar seperangkat teknik, melainkan pola pikir yang membantu para pemimpin dan kelompok di berbagai sektor, dari bisnis hingga sistem sosial, untuk mengatasi tantangan terbesar mereka.

This week, it's a huge pleasure to welcome Adam Kahane onto the podcast to talk with Tim about the everyday habits and radical engagement that young people as well as educators and leaders, at all levels of our education systems, can learn in order to do the coordinated and constant work of transforming systems.Adam Kahane is a Director at Reos Partners, a global social impact company dedicated to supporting sustainable and equitable progress on humanity's most crucialchallenges.

Radical engagement with the system doesn't mean participating in that system, distractedly resigned, knowing it all hierarchically at arm's length, with arms crossed, superficially, impatiently. Saying take it or leave means taking part in it alertly, with hope and curiosity, horizontally, leaning forward, hands on, digging deep, persisting, and above all, reciprocally and relationally. So that's the core idea of radical engagement and Claude, that's how I experience your way of being in the world.My conversation with writer, facilitator and consultant and many other hats Adam Kahane, which took place on April 8, 2025, on the very day of the launch of his latest book and Everyday Habits for Transforming Systems, the Catalytic Power of Radical Engagement. Adam talks about seven habits that enable ordinary citizens to become extraordinary agents of transformation. We talked about the process of co creating the book with over 300 individuals, including myself, and how these habits can apply to the arts.Show notes generated by Whisper Transcribe AIAction pointsUnderstand the concept of radical engagement and its role in societal change.Identify the seven everyday habits for transforming systems: acting responsibly, relating in three dimensions, looking for what's unseen, working with cracks, experimenting a way forward, collaborating with unlike others, and persevering and resting.Recognize that systems are human-made and can be rebuilt through collective action.Explore how artists and individuals can apply these habits in their daily lives to contribute to meaningful change.Consider the importance of “acting responsibly” as a foundational habit for engaging with complex systems.Story PreviewImagine a world where everyday actions can ripple through complex systems, sparking real change.

They can be transformed. They are being transformed.There's a crack in everything.

Mindset Matters Podcast Summary In this engaging episode of Mindset Matters, Patrick and Steffany Francey delve into the dynamics of collaboration, competition, and communication, using inspiration from Adam Kahane's book Collaborating with the Enemy. The conversation kicks off with Steffany sharing her exciting trip to the Grand Prix Final in France, where she supports world-class ice dance teams from the Ice Academy of Montreal. Patrick seamlessly transitions this into a broader discussion on the paradox of competition and collaboration. The hosts reflect on the challenges of working in high-stakes environments where competitors train together, emphasizing the importance of creating a culture that elevates everyone's performance. Patrick introduces the "champion's paradox"—the idea that while winning often means surpassing others, focusing solely on "beating" opponents lowers one's energy and potential. Instead, staying committed to one's own preparation, values, and vision leads to authentic success. Steffany and Patrick explore critical aspects of collaboration, such as the necessity of dialog and trust. They stress the value of creating a safe environment for honest communication, setting "rules of engagement," and embracing active listening. The hosts also highlight the importance of context in difficult conversations, providing practical tools for framing discussions in ways that foster understanding and respect. The episode unpacks topics like trust, perseverance, and diversity of thought while critiquing how modern narratives around inclusivity can dilute the true value of diverse perspectives. Steffany shares examples of helping clients navigate conflicts in environments that clash with their values, illustrating how alignment can be achieved even amidst disagreement. The conversation concludes with reflections on leadership, the role of facilitation, and the power of staying aligned with shared goals. Packed with actionable insights, this episode offers listeners a roadmap to navigate complex relationships and foster growth through collaboration.

In this episode, we chat with Beth Hunter, founder of Foodbridge, a non-profit dedicated to shifting our food and agriculture system to more regenerative and sustainable practices. Beth has been at the forefront of environmental advocacy since she co-founded the pioneering environmental organization, Equiterre, and helped create the first CSA network in Quebec in the 1990s. In this conversation, we explore the complex issues involved in industrial farmers transitioning to more ecological practices, the role of culture in industrial vs. small-scale ag, and why we need bold collaboration with big food companies in order to create meaningful change at all scales of farming.

Today I share my conversation with Suzanne Vickberg, aka Dr. Suz. She is a social-personality psychologist and a Research Lead at Deloitte Greenhouse. Along with her Deloitte Greenhouse colleague Kim Christfort, Suzanne co-authored the best-selling book Business Chemistry. But there's another type of Chemistry - or Alchemistry - that I sat down to talk to Dr. Suz about - shifting the default track of a conversation from protection and opposition to collaboration, Some years ago I interviewed Dr. Elizabeth Stokoe, a Professor of Social Interaction at Loughborough University, who speaks in her book Talk about conversations as having a landscape or a “track” that participants asses and orient to rather quickly…and that we glide down that track, while we monitor the texture of that landscape, and navigate the bumps in the road…so that we can keep things on safely on track. Check out our podcast conversation here and her TEDx talk here. In the opening quote to this podcast, you can hear Dr. Suz describing this process of “landscape orienting” happening very rapidly in a divorce context. Knowing the default path is very helpful when navigating a “hello, how are you?” kind of “small talk” conversation in a non-wierdo-way. Knowing the default track can help make things smooth and easy…when you're visiting the store, or a bowling alley. And when you don't know the basics of the track, things can be hard - Doing simple things in a different culture can be surprisingly slippery to navigate when you don't know the basics of the track.  But sometimes the default path can be extremely detrimental - especially when the default is ineffectual or becomes unconscious and habitual - we keep doing things out of rote, not intent. In business, a common default/habitual conversational path is looking at an underperformer and putting them on a Performance Improvement Plan in order to be able to fire them more easily, A non-default, more conscious conversation is taking the time to learn *why* they are underperforming and helping them actually transform themselves, their work performance and their lives….and in the process deeply benefiting the company and even the community. Seems impossible, right? Or grandiose? Carol Sandford, in her book about Regenerative Business talks about an organization that did just this… a manager discovered that a chronically underperforming and late employee was just functionally illiterate. That employee, once they felt safe to share more, helped that manager learn that many of their employees were facing similar issues. Instead of a PIP, this employee got literacy training, and became an advisor to a new literacy program developed inside the organization, which spread out to the larger community, in ripples of growth and transformation. That is a *non* default conversation - turning a PIP conversation into a community-transformation conversation. On a micro-scale, Dr. Suz's book tells the story of rethinking or re-designing the “default track” for a very, very common conversation - Divorce. When that word gets said out loud, people find lawyers, put up a shield, and start digging trenches.  There is a better way! It takes effort to deeply empathize with your “opponent” in a difficult conversation. It takes patience and imagination to collaborate with your “opponent” to design a win-win scenario.  But the default design for divorce doesn't usually create ideal outcomes…just conventional ones. It's possible to create something better than you can imagine if you create the space for a transformational conversation. Dr. Suz helps break down how “design” in these situations just means really understanding the REAL problem we're solving and what our IDEAL outcome really could look like… BEFORE we jump to solutions. Also check out my podcast conversation with Adam Kahane, author of, among many other amazing books, the book Collaborating with the Enemy - which is what I know a divorce can feel like. Some of his perspectives take this “divorce by design” mindset into the broader business and strategy arena. Enjoy this conversation as much as I did…and think about how you might transform the most challenging conversations in your life and work. With more conscious creativity and intention, with empathy and collaboration…with more design you can create more of what you really want, just like Dr. Suz did for her own divorce and for her own life.

The world faces enormously complex and existential challenges. While specific solutions might feel elusive, it's safe to say that in order to address the most polarizing issues of our time, we'll need more and better collaboration—more and better tools to help us work together across deep differences and make progress. According to Adam Kahane, a director at Reos Partners, that means the world requires more and better facilitators. In his most recent book, Facilitating Breakthrough: How to Remove Obstacles, Bridge Differences, and Move Forward Together, Adam proposes a theory and practice of what he calls “transformative facilitation,” which focuses less on getting (or forcing) people to do things and more on removing obstacles to greater contribution, connection, and equity. In this episode, Adam shares how he's reimagining this work and who we think of as “facilitators” in the first place.

Amidst the pandemic, leaders are forced to manage their teams in-person and virtually. The phenomenon of moving to virtual and hybrid teams–and then guiding employees through an international pandemic–has surfaced the need to manage with empathy, authenticity, and engagement. The traditional “command and control” is no longer tolerable. Leaders must engage and build participative communities. Having to work from home for two years, professional employees have gained a voice in how they wish to be treated and led. Managers who still try to boss employees around are watching their workforce walk out the door. On today's podcast episode, we interview Adam Kahane who is the author of Facilitating Breakthrough: How to Remove Obstacles, Bridge Differences, and Move Forward Together. Today's topics are locked-in on the importance of facilitation and negotiation.  These are two core leadership skills that keep employees engaged, and help maintain equitable contribution and connection.Read FULL summary here!

Ep. 16 | Kateryna Yasko and Vytautas Bučiūnas crossed the border into Lithuania three days before this conversation took place, after a five-day exodus from Kyiv, following the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. This conversation is a call for action and support of the incredibly brave Ukrainian people, and illuminates their willingness to fight to the death to throw out the invaders who are there to crush their freedom and make Ukraine a colony of Putin's Russia. This is an informative, inspirational, and heartbreaking dialogue with two exceptionally insightful Integral leaders from the Ukraine—about propaganda and myth-making in our post-truth world, about integrating power, force, and love, about a new worldwide unity, and how the Integral perspective might pave the way towards world peace. Recorded March 5, 2022. “One nation has opened the hearts of the whole world.

Facilitation involves “removing obstacles to contribution, connection and equity.” This is at the center of our guest Adam Kahane's book “Facilitating Breakthrough.” Kahane argues that facilitating isn't just trying to get people to do things. He discusses what he calls “transformative facilitation” – facilitating in ways that brings in both individual and collective perspectives to move forward together without leading to fragmentation or rigidity.

In a time of extreme political polarization, call-outs and cancel culture, how do leaders support constructive dialogue and de-escalate conflict in society and organizations? How do we make meaningful change leveraging our diverse identities while working with opposing beliefs and experiences? Join Shakil Choudhury and Adam Kahane in an intimate fireside chat as these two amazing leaders, facilitators and authors discuss their new books and approaches to constructive dialogue both inside organizations and in broader society.

Adam Kahane, Director of Reos Partners and author of books including Collaborating with the Enemy, Transformative Scenario Planning and Facilitating Breakthrough, joins me to talk about how he uses transformative facilitation practices to help people move forward together on their most important and intractable issues. We talk about the necessity of removing obstacles to power, love and justice to facilitate change as well as Adam's experiences helping South Africa envision its transition away from apartheid and his work with former Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos to bring about an end the decades-long Colombian civil war. Adam also connects the dots between facilitative leadership and workplace well-being.

How can we make progress together when faced with increasingly complex challenges?The major challenges of our time demand creative and collaborative solutions. But they're not always easy to come by: we face increasing complexity and, often, decreasing control. We need to work with people across more divides. How can we move forward in ever less straightforward situations?Adam Kahane presents transformative facilitation as a new way of creating change. By focusing on removing the obstacles to everyone connecting and contributing equitably, he says, we can enable real breakthrough. He offers a guide for how we can all become better mediators; bridging our differences, distributing power, and moving forward together.#RSAbreakthrough This conversation was broadcast online on the 23rd September 2021 .

The Pursuit of Generative Dialogue Generative thinking: the idea that there really is nothing new under the sun BUT when we put different combinations of that “nothing new” into a conversation, something generative happens and we see things from a different and unique perspective. As a leader gains the skills needed to initiate generative conversations, the ideas shared will not only move you to a clarity of actions you can take but will also serve as a gateway to other topics where resolutions are not evident. Questions for a leader learning how to dive more deeply into generative dialogue: 1.       Are you willing to create vulnerability and shared experience through your conversation? 2.      Can you take the time to generate a space where authentic dialogue has the potential for initiating meaningful relationships? Generative conversations: ·        direct, honest exchange of sharing and inquiry between people who have released their need for certainty, for knowing that they are right,  and opened themselves up to hear possibilities and deeper meaning than either could have thought up individually. ·        marked by deep respect as individuals look at their deeply held assumptions and beliefs with curiosity. Instead of feeling a need to defend what they see as “right,” they are open to seeing things anew and from another perspective. ·        acknowledging all voices and perspectives matter; when you approach a conversation in this way your goal is to engage in dialogue to weave patterns together instead of defend positions or beliefs. “We have to bring together the people who are co-creating the current reality to co-create new realities. We have to shift from downloading and debating to reflective and generative dialogues.” Adam Kahane – global facilitator of processes through which business, government, and civil society leaders can work together to address intractable issues. Recommendations from Adam: 1.      Pay attention to how you are talking and listening. 2.      Reflect on your own role. 3.      Listen: a.      To others who have a stake in the system b.      To what is being said, not just by yourself but by others c.      To what is being said through ALL of you 4.       Relax and be fully present 5.      Get ready to find yourself stuck! What?  REALITY:  1.      We can't solve problems within the current context 2.      We can't change the context we find ourselves in on our own or with our friends and colleagues 3.      The people we need to engage in order to shift the context don't understand, agree or trust one another.  Good news: you can seek the opportunity for generative dialogue that will help you stay real, and, as you feel stuck, be honest that you do not have the answers but that you are willing to engage until clarity comes with next steps.
