[Assets] Seeing and Leading Differently - Assetbuilding and complex change 2007 ongoing learning series

[Kristin Johnstad]

Happy Spring, Asset Builders -
Several of us at Search Institute have been working with asset building 
and complex change concepts to see how they can inform our work around 
leading change efforts. To get a glimpse of how some of these ideas fit, 
you can look at one pagers on our web site at the bottom of this page: 
http://www.search-institute.org/change/complexchange/ 

We also ran a track of sessions at last year's HCHY conference and are 
continuing these conversations through a webinar series and peer 
learning groups in 2007. I hope some of you will want to join us 
starting April 2. I've also included two links to a couple archived 2006 
webinars with YMCA asset champions. it will give you an idea of the 
content and technology:
