Liderazgo universitario para un mundo complejo y cambiante

Societies expect innovative knowledge from the universities contributing to the solution of the urgent social and ecological challenges of our world today. In the current turbulent circumstances university leadership requires different organizational features from those that were common before. Complexity leadership offers a framework to tackle this requirement by combining three complementary types of leadership: strategic, innovative and facilitating. However, there is a major communication challenge implied in this framework. Dialogical spaces must be generated and cultivated which are open to actors inside and outside the university who can contribute insights in a problematic reality, based on their own life experience, or on their disciplinary expertise. The art of a trans-disciplinary dialogue consists in being able to listen carefully to all these actors, and to create opportunities for the actors ‘without voice’, often excluded vulnerable rural and urban communities, for the expression of their worries, needs and wisdom.
