The Logic of Courage.
A space for reflections that transcend boundaries and create connections.
Through the lens of Individual Psychology, I explore philosophical contemplations, organizational dynamics, consulting practice insights, and reflections on art and society.
Logic represents the pursuit of understanding unconscious patterns in individuals, groups, and organizations. Courage embodies the willingness to look beyond the familiar and dare new perspectives.
Deep understanding and courageous action belong together.
The Art of Being Touched: What Individual Psychology Adds to Resonant Leadership
Rosa emphasizes that resonance begins with something speaking to us, reaching us, before we can respond or transform. This isn't something we do - it happens to us. We cannot put "being moved" on our to-do list.
This raises the essential question for organizational life: if resonance must begin with genuine affection, how do we cultivate openness to being touched by our work, our colleagues, our shared challenges?
Here Rosa's concept of Unverfügbarkeit (uncontrollability) becomes crucial. True resonance cannot be manufactured or forced - it emerges from conditions but cannot be guaranteed. This is perhaps where Céline's otherwise excellent analysis needs deepening: we can create the conditions for resonance, but we cannot control its emergence.
In Individual Psychology, we call this capacity encouragement - not cheerleading, but the deeper willingness to be genuinely interested in and moved by another person's experience.
