Drawing on decades of research from anthropologists, sociologists, psychologists, and organizational theorists, Liminal Leadership® provides business management consultation in the field of executive and leadership development.
Liminality derrives its name from "limen," Latin for threshold. Limens are frontiers or boundary areas that are best described as betwixt and between spaces.
These intermediate spaces, or mediums, provide the fabric of social life, group harmony, and teamwork.
The conceptual foundation for Liminal Leadership is grounded in the seminal works of Arnold van Gennep and Victor Turner.
It has been broadened to include recent work from social neuroscience, which we believe will provide additional data for understanding how rites of passage, communitas, threshold conditions, and other Liminal Leadership concepts relate to group dynamics, collaboration, organizational productivity, and facilitative leadership.
Liminal spaces are all around.
They exist as boundary conditions.
They shape team dynamics.
They define us and our purpose.
They are dynamic.
They can be mapped and leveraged.
Leaders must learn to recognize and master liminal spaces, including transitional events, processes, and opportunities.
The Liminal Leadership® approach views leadership through the lens of group dynamics, integrating concepts, research, and clinical practices from several academic disciplines and practical experience helping managers become leaders.
Liminal Leadership focuses on training people how to facilitate and navigate the liminal spaces that define and give structure to organizations, groups, and relationships.
