An Organic Leadership | Malek Yamani | TEDxAjman


the concept of mechanically at

leadership to understand it I would like

to take you first through a little bit

of history and we are going to something

very interesting that happens in the

world that a lot of us we don’t pay

attention that much attention to it and

that is what we see today and what we

will be seeing in the future is

consequence as a result of what had

1856 the birth of in the first book by

Darwin the species came to existence

1700 1800 76 78 all the way to 1886 we

have the birth of psychology as we know

it today during that very time we had

the birth again the invention of

electricity of television and may other

technological things that we are now

cherishing and you are using a lot of

people mainly scholars we don’t pay

attention to this fact because this

result of that era is what we are living

today and there is no way to solve the

problems of today except by going to

back to there so that we can all solve

the problems of the future let me give

you some examples from that time from

1886 all the way until now the world has

seen changes we have never seen before

the number of Wars exceeds by enemies

all the words that have happened before

[Music]

throughout all the ways of the beginning

of humanity the comedy human Tom has

never seen has not been as acute as it

was still if you look at it for example

since the beginning the last second out

second half of 1900 you’ll find that we

had so many unfortunately so many

economic crises 50 160 170 180 191 2001

2007 one way may wonder what’s happening

why is it that we are not paying

attention to those all those changes

that are happening too many books are

being written many scholars are talking

about it still we’re not making we’re

not finding solutions that means there

is a problem somewhere and the problem

is is in this world we call organic the

human mind said since the discovery

psychology and I’m a psychologist

it looks like psychology has missed up

the human mind and instead of making it

home it’s fragmented the human psyche

and moved us to an era where nothing is

stable humanity human beings have become

simplex unidirectional they are not

capable of having this whole picture

where they can see everything happening

around them so throughout my life I was

always looking at the constant that as

in this question why is it that we have

all these problems and we’re finding

that the organic is the issue people are

we are not organic anymore

our leaders I’m not talking mainly from

business perspective people are not

organic anymore and we have to go back

to that place but what is very

interesting is that the lack of alguna

organic has come to us unfortunately

from our mother earth itself so

me show you something very interesting

this is the organic farming in the world

when you take the numbers you’ll find

that what we have organic in this world

does not exceed 16 percent the food that

we’re eating does not exceed 16 percent

and that tells you a lot in the way and

in the fabric and in the making of human

mind of our modern and future human mind

earth is impacting us and there’s only

one way to be able to rework our process

and create a systemic thinking that will

allow it to become organic imagine

Africa only 1% organic farming 23 in

Europe United State 6% Asia 4% for six

verse of them sorry and that North

America is 4% Africa is 1% Latin America

24% and then Oceania we are talking

about New Zealand Australian song so

forth 42 percent fortunately fortunately

humanity’s coming back and people are

paying attention to this fact that we

are eating poisons and that we have to

go back review the way how we do

business so that we can start something

about in other words these people are

putting us in a very interesting

situation we have to make a choice and a

big decision our life one we can live

the age of information which we are

living right now everyone most of us I

would say 95 to 97% of us living based

on information and what does mean age

information or what it means is what

we’re going to be doing with dealing

with passive leadership it’s happening

it’s there but it’s not giving us

anything no result a lot of things are

occurring but there

no substance on the other hand we have

the age of skills and the age of skills

this is where we are going to find

active productive leadership and of

course at the same time information is

very vital to the skills and skills are

very vital to the information so we have

to keep that dynamic going on so what do

we mean here

well we mean that in order for our to

create to design the mind of future

leadership we have to go back and create

the transaction this bridging between

information and the age of skills and

the age of skills and information we do

not were not living the age of knowledge

as they call it they call it it’s very

wrong that you are going to see why I’m

saying this so in this case let us plant

a palm tree and there is no difference

in the build-up and the lifespan of a

palm tree and the lifespan of of any

leader who want to be beneficial to his

country to his people and to humanity to

mankind pantry I choose this because it

is the most perseverant the most

generous the wisest string like the

olive tree in the world that’s the way

how Allah has created it and in order

for our to have it it starts as this it

starts with a seed that’s dark green

then it moves you this person we have to

move it to different places because we

have to change the places then we have

germination where we start seeing those

little green things coming out out of it

and then we’ll move on to see the link

where start really now having you know

it looks like a real palm tree then it

grows and the dad takes you to adult

plant until now she has not given us

anything and now we move to flowering

and call all of sudden we see it growing

Kamik meaning she wrote she is ready for

pollination she’s ready to receive the

information from another tree from

another donor so that it gives us

fertilization so that gives us date and

that date has a seed and then the cycle

starts in other word it’s a rebirth it’s

a rebirth it’s a rebirth it’s a rebirth

and so someone’s always giving if that’s

happening for a country then what should

we do in order for it you have to make

it happen in our lives well from a human

being there are and this is our organic

approach this is when you go to Google

you are going to find a lot about

organic style and so forth in my view

I’m cannot I cannot talk about organized

organic style before talking about an

organic leader and in order for us to

have an organically that four levels of

transformation have to take place four

levels of transformation have to take

this and please pay attention with me

I’m sorry I’m not talking about personal

this is one my own ideas that I really

love and appreciate and I think through

our work with many companies it’s giving

a lot Angela a lot of great result and

people are enjoying so the first one is

transformation one is transformation

from the information to the environment

a lot of us we have a lot of ideas we

think we share and so on so forth but

the question is how much does it have

with our reality our environment we

never test those informations and

because we don’t test this information

what will happen the information stuff

keeps there stays there floating and

that’s all what it’s doing it never

gives us anything

so that is moving information to

environment and environment to

information and now for example if you

want to see to what you look for

something you just go to Google and it

gives you millions of document that’s

all information the

can you reflect it on your word on your

site and see what it does or at work and

see what did that you very few of us do

and once we are able to create this link

between our information what we have it

what we think our ideas and the reality

when ready to move to something very

very crucial and that is transformation

number two moving information to

experiences moving information to

experience something we do I take that

information and try to implement it and

while implemented I learn I keep

learning and learning and learning and

learning consciousness is a result of

three levels first of all something that

I touch I have to touch it I have to

touch it with my eyes with my ears with

my tongue with my hand or with my

intellect then we have to take that

touching from that level to the level of

knowledge knowledge that we that does

not does not mean that I am perfect at

that thing but I have an idea about what

it is and then you know exactly what it

is is really the why and the how and why

but it’s not enough and this is why we

have in our world we see that we have

many scholars but you know what when you

put them into the practical world they

have no idea what you do and then we

have levels number for transformation

number for moving knowledge to skills a

lot of people come and ask me sometimes

and it’s Malik how do how can we read

between lines when we have a situation a

given situation at work would family

society what’s going the world how can

we read between the lines and this is

something you can’t nobody can teach you

you have to earn it and the only way to

earn it if you go through that process

from information to environment

information information environment back

to information take that information to

experience that may turn that experience

into knowledge

that knowledge your skills and while you

are doing all that make sure to keep

learning and adjusting keep growing it’s

very crucial that while York while you

will keep learning and adjusting

something very important will happen to

you you will become self-motivated that

all of our colleagues were talking about

self motivation

there are two ways one of them is

negative you are I’m self-motivated for

no reason but another one I have a basis

for myself in motivation and that self

motivation will allow you to create more

transformation at the level of

information and creates more ideas and

so on and the cycle will continue the

good news is in order for me to do that

I need this big things we called values

there is no organic leadership without

values there’s no organic leadership

without values and therefore when we are

talking about the future and I’m sorry

given the short time when we are talking

about the future

think about what had happened in the

past try to go back solve it and then

you will be able to establish a beauty

of you be a better future that’s the

only way we can transform this nation

concerns from every individual of us

here and we can transform the way how

the history is going thank you very much

and I hope [Applause]
