Beyond the Bullshit: Rethinking Leadership Development in a System That Won’t Hold - Dr Richard Claydon

The Trouble with Becoming - Dr Richard Claydon.

 

When leadership development asks too much—and connection offers a different way forward

This session explores the tension between leadership as personal transformation and leadership as systemic participation. Drawing from Chapter Three of Leadership, Rewritten, we follow Maya as she confronts the overwhelm of stage-based development models, the disillusionment of system fantasies, and the exhaustion of trying to grow fast enough to keep up with complexity.

What begins as a journey toward self-mastery becomes a deeper inquiry into performance, relational energy, and system sensemaking. Through presentations, breakouts, and reflective dialogue, we’ll consider how leaders grow with others—not alone.
