The Power of Synchronicity
Carl jung describes synchronicity as the convergence of two or more unrelated events! In other words, even though certain experiences are not - on the surface - related they are often construed or remembered by the individual as having a significant relationship to other conscious or subconscious experiences. Synchronicity is the meaning we give to unrelated and non-sequential experiences; experiences that often shape and guide major life decisions and one’s worldview.
Leadership behaviors, such as the use of symbols, application of intuition, how experience is leveraged (hindsight), vision casting (foresight), and decision-making (insight) are often heavily influenced by synchronicity. Synchronicity as it relates to leadership allows us to have a significantly broader perspective of life and events that include the non-linear, chaotic, and complex variables that we all must navigate. This broader perspective can be a distinct advantage. Synchronicity can be leveraged by leaders to gain insight into what influences events, culture, values, attitudes, and the perceptions and beliefs of others. Applying synchronicity to the practice of leadership can ultimately have a positive impact on the trajectory of an organization or followers. AND... when we can do that, we can lead more effectively!!

Advanced Praise for Matt's New Book!
If you are ready to go beyond the conventional leadership mantras and gain practical and powerful insights that work in the real world of organizations, this is the book to read. In 3D Thinking, Dr. Kutz not only introduces the new model of Contextual Intelligence, but unpacks and delivers keen insights on what contextual intelligence behaviors look like. My own experiences in leading people, developing leaders and building organizations were confirmed but also challenged to go higher and deeper with improved hindsight, insight and foresight. If you are an emerging or experienced leader you will not want to miss this book – powerful and compelling!

For some time now I have had an interest in the small c and big C of Context and was delighted to discover the work of Matt about 2 years ago. Matt is a present day leader in this field and his work makes sense and gives meaning to many of the situations we find ourselves in. Today’s global uncertainty further increases the relevance and significance of contextual intelligence. The 12 competencies identified by Matt are goal posts for us all to aspire to if we are truly to be leaders of influence. I would recommend Matt’s work as a core text for any leadership program.

My career has spanned several industries and Fortune 500 companies (real estate, telecommunications, public accounting, and education) and taught me this universal truth: most successful leaders and organizations grasp every competitive advantage. With Contextual Intelligence I believe that Dr. Matthew Kutz had discovered a universal advantage; one that every business needs. The ability to teach executives and managers to think like Fortune 500 CEOs and lead like military commanders can take any organization from good to great! Today's uncertain business climate has made forward-looking leadership more difficult and, at the same time, more important. Tomorrow's winners must learn from the past, assess the present and correctly predict the future; all at the same time. That is why the Contextual Intelligence Inventory™ and Dr. Kutz leadership insights are so exciting to me and the administration at the Kings Academy.

"A pilot must of necessity pay attention to the seasons, the heavens, the stars, the winds and everything proper to the craft if he is really to master the ship.” - Plato
Today’s leadership landscape is dynamic and challenging. Earlier theories and assumptions on leadership appear to be inadequate and over simplistic in their ability to flex with the volatility and complexity of organizations which function in a knowledge economy at a local, national and global level. This monograph offers a working model of contextual intelligence for practitioners, which extends the non-Newtonian-based leadership paradigms by integrating the principles of tacit knowledge, synchronicity and time orientation: essential competencies for today’s leaders.
