Reinventing masculinity for the future of leadership
Grounding, protection of truth and devotion to the feminine.
There are around 85% of men in web3 today. If we can match the level of cognitive complexity with a similar level of emotional maturity, we could help unlock the potential for life-serving and regenerative technologies at scale.
In this era of poly-crisis and exponential technology, young male leaders and DAO founders tend to struggle to fully step into their leadership in a healthy way, limiting the growth and impact of their collective.
According to Peter Koenig (source work), an organisation with weak or unclear boundaries is a symptom of the source (founder) not taking full responsibilities for their creation. This is very common among “decentralised” organisations.
It seems the fear of “toxic masculinity” is making it harder for men to set clear & explicit boundaries while providing a clear direction. That’s the inclusivity paradox : we can’t provide true inclusivity without the capacity to exclude people or projects to protect the vision and values.
The result is often unwritten rules and implicit boundaries with shadow hierarchies which can lead to a culture of conflict avoidance and toxic power games.
On the other side, these leaders may find it challenging to truly listen, delegate and trust their teams, constraining the group's collective intelligence, innovation capacities, and creative energy.
With Genesis we are developing trainings to support male founders and leaders in the development of emotional agility and the mastery of yin/yang dynamics at individual and collective levels. Reconciling power and vulnerability to develop high-trust cultures, teams and DAOs that can be values aligned at scale. As well as radically innovative, collaborative and impactful with a clear structure & direction.
