Episode description

In episode 90 of Coaching Conversations, Jim chats with Margaret Wheatley, renowned author of books like *Leadership and the New Science* and *Who Do We Choose To Be*. They explore deep topics such as leadership, community, and personal responsibility.

Margaret emphasizes the importance of generosity for building strong teams and communities and discusses how understanding the six stages of civilization can help us navigate today’s complex social issues. She points out that we are currently in a stage of decadence, marked by distraction and entitlement, which affects our societal challenges.

The episode also highlights the value of emotional awareness. Margaret stresses the need to process emotions and its role in personal growth, especially amid fear and misinformation.

Tune in to learn how embracing our best human qualities—consciousness, thoughtfulness, and imagination—can enhance our leadership and contribute positively to society. Generosity, kindness, and creativity are central themes, showing how they foster healthier relationships and communities.
