By Lia Aurami for Enlivening Edge Magazine “If you build it, they will come.” A popular 1989 US movie gave rise to this optimistic saying. In “Field of Dreams” Kevin Costner played a farmer who listened to a whispered inspiration to build a baseball field on some of his cropland.

Similarly, Enlivening Edge has heard inspiring whispers in our more than eight years of overview of and service to

By Lia Aurami for Enlivening Edge Magazine There are significant differences in the kinds of conversations that take place in the Orange, Green, and Teal stages of development of adult consciousness. The stages were popularized by Frederic Laloux’s book Reinventing Organizations, but this article could be valuable to you even if you are not familiar with his framework of categorizing the stages of human consciousness operating in organizations. All three kinds of conversations are valuable, yet you can’t have a Teal conversation until you have learned how to have a Green conversation, and you can’t have a Green conversation until

The distinction between leadership and management is fundamental and has often been a topic of discussion in management theories and organizational environments. We at Cuidadoria in Brazil come across a lot of confusion in our work regarding the terms management and leadership. Some claim that they are the same skills, almost like a belief that they refer to the same activity. Others understand the difference without delving into the specifics of each one. It is very common for a person to be placed in a leadership role on the basis of their
