2012 Alembic
The Alembic is a program designed to help talented leaders move into their highest potential. Every organization has individuals who excel at everything they do—and enrich every environment they enter. But individuals with extraordinary potential are usually given only ordinary development opportunities.
Keynote: The Alchemist
Many people think of alchemy as an ancient art, a precursor of science. Yet its quest is the same as ours—transmuting one thing into another. In every organization there is lead that can become gold. The new alchemical skills are things such as perceiving that which may not be obvious on the surface, fusing unlike things, incubating new forms, putrifying what is no longer necessary, precipitating missing elements, symbolizing in ways that provide enabling meaning to events, connecting, energizing, and purifying. Alchemical leaders approach reality as a set of mutable possibilities rather than an unalterable series of circumstances.
