The concept of ‘The Source’ represents an innovative new way of exploring management theory and practice. The Source is the founder of an organization, project, community group or team – a crucial but often-overlooked role. As the person whose energy and ideas brought things into being, the Source has a distinctively different function from other people. Recognition of this special role has a major impact on the success of the system and the relationships between the Source and team members.
By understanding and following the principles that underpin the role of the Source it’s possible to unravel the origins of unproductive dynamics, then identify leverage points for making quick and simple corrections that restore healthy flow and high energy to teams, enterprises and organizations.
