We all regularly observe dramatic gaps in our lives and in the lives of companies: between the results that we intended to obtain and the actual results; between what kind of relationships we want to build and what is really happening in our lives; between our original development strategies and what we actually achieve. According to Bill Torbert, these gaps in which leaders, teams and organizations lose energy, resources and effectiveness are caused by the fact that we have forgotten how to perceive every action as an act of exploration. Action research is a powerful technique for getting out of autopilot mode. Thanks to the constant attunement of their “I” and the current moment, the willingness to always learn and live on the cutting edge of the present, leaders begin to work more and more timely and wisely, making possible the long-term sustainable development of their companies.
