Our inner place - the quality of our attention, awareness or consciousness, determines the result we get. Theory U describes a process for transformative growth that works with awareness. It defines four levels of listening and being, defines leadership capacities and steps in transformative growth. It is applied to individuals, teams, organizations and the society at large.
