Decision-Making in Complexity

episode 290 | May 28, 2026 | 101min
In this episode with Marvin Oka, we explore the art of coherent decision-making in complex systems, weaving together adaptive leadership, self-organising dynamics, paradigmatic metaphors, and the deeper role of vision, values, and feedback loops in transformational change. The conversation also dives into the intelligence of the three brains — head, heart, and gut — revealing how greater alignment, congruence, and heart-centred awareness can create the conditions for wiser collective conversations and more emergent ways of leading.
