Innovative Organic Leadership model from New Zealand
Stumble It!The Tipu Ake Lifecycle is based on the analogy of a tree growing in a forest and subject to "pests" which try to constrain it, "birds" which plant the seeds for long term future for the species and "poisons" which inhibit the process of germination.
The model is described in detail on the website and is introduced here
Support resources include: downloadable model information, stories, application case studies, an organisational self-assessment tool, seminars, workshops, retreats, a "learning community" of users and a video presentation.
