The document discusses the concept of "Quantic Leadership" presented by Philippe Vallat at an Agile Leadership Day event. It explores integrating principles from quantum mechanics, consciousness research, and spirituality into leadership. Key aspects discussed include being, mental abilities like intuition, and connectedness. Vallat suggests leaders cultivate skills like maintaining a calm presence of mind, intuitive insights, and establishing a shared field with others. The document provides examples and literature exploring how quantum phenomena like morphic fields and nonlocal effects may impact leadership, change processes, and harnessing collective intelligence.

The Bond
Frontier biologists, physicists, psychologists and
sociologists have all found evidence that (…)
between the smallest particles of our being, our
bodies and their environments, ourselves and all of
the people with whom we are in contact, (…) there is
a Bond – (…) there is no longer a clear demarcation
between the end of one thing and the beginning of
another.
The world essentially operates, not through the
activity of individual things, but in the connection
between them -- in a sense, within the space
between things.
Lynne McTaggart

Morphic fields
Morphic resonance gives an inherent memory in
fields at all levels of complexity. Any given
morphic system, say, a squirrel, "tunes in" to
previous similar systems, in this case previous
squirrels of its species. Through this process each
individual squirrel draws upon, and in turn
contributes to, a collective or pooled memory of
its kind. In the human realm, this kind of
collective memory corresponds to what the
psychologist C. G. Jung called the "collective
unconscious."

The Eight Laws
of Social Change
“Social Change requires wisdom,
character, patience, and the
willingness to forego any personal
credit.”

The Eight Laws
of Social Change
1.The individuals (individually) and the
group (collectively) share a common
intention.
2.The individuals and the group may
have goals and cherish the potential
outcomes.
3.The individuals in the group accept
that their goal may not be reached in
their lifetimes, and are O.K. with that.
4.The individuals in the group accept
that they may not get either credit or
acknowledgment for what they have
done, and are authentically O.K. about
this.
5. Each person in the group regardless
of gender, religion, race, or culture
enjoy fundamental equality while the
various roles in the hierarchy of the
effort are respected.
6. The individuals in the group
foreswear violence in word, act or
thought.
7. The individuals in the group must
make their personal lives consistent
with their public postures.
8. The individuals (individually) and the
group (collectively) always act from
the “beingness” of integrity.

Implications for

Connectedness Possible application
Establishing a field Support for team work, learning class,

for solving known problems, for learning
…
Can be activily and consciously applied!
