How Hidden Source-Holarchies Shape Organizations

Formal structures (LR) do not fully explain how leadership actually emerges in organizations.Social systems naturally generate informal leadership hierarchies (LL), which often remain unconscious but have a profound impact on individual influence, collective decision-making, and team effectiveness.

In this keynote, Tobias shares his journey as a systemic constellation facilitator in search of the underlying leadership dynamics in organizational systems. From these explorations, he encountered the Theory of Source (Peter König)—a framework that explains how leadership roles emerge in a holarchic field of sources and sub-sources.

This perspective illuminates how initiatives create their own social holarchies, shaping responsibility and engagement beyond predefined structures. Understanding these natural leadership fields allows organizations to integrate them with formal governance systems without suppressing their organic flow.

Bridging Source Theory, Integral Theory, and Holarchic Governance, this keynote unveils a new way to understand leadership emergence – one that empowers organizations and individuals to navigate with clarity, alignment, and purpose.

As a certified Holacracy coach and integral-systemic constellation leader, he combines business expertise with structure and depth to enable sustainable transformation.

Growing up in the Ruhr area (Germany), characterised by Christian values, Tobias developed an interest in personal development and entrepreneurial thinking at an early age. After a year abroad and a degree in business administration, he founded his own start-up.
The search for a deeper understanding of human and organisational dynamics led him via coaching to integral theory and finally to organisational consulting.

He is passionate about impact entrepreneurship, regenerative communities and transformative leadership.
As a part-time digital nomad, he explores new perspectives on organisations across Europe.

In doing so, he supports organisations and individuals in making invisible dynamics visible and getting in touch with their own ‘source’.
Based on this, resilient structures can be designed with which we as humanity are able to face the meta-crisis of our time.
