The Möbius Effect: A Framework for Sustainable Leadership Impact, by Jonathan H. Westover PhD


Listen Later

Abstract: This article explores the application of the Möbius strip as both metaphor and framework for sustainable leadership practice. Drawing parallels between the mathematical properties of the Möbius strip—continuity, non-orientation, and boundary transcendence—and leadership dynamics, the paper introduces the "Möbius Effect" framework for leadership impact. Research indicates that leaders employing Möbius principles demonstrate enhanced organizational resilience, stakeholder trust, and long-term performance outcomes. The framework centers on three interconnected dimensions: personal-organizational identity integration, transcending traditional leadership boundaries, and cultivating regenerative value cycles. Through synthesis of leadership research and organizational case studies, this article offers evidence-based strategies for developing Möbius leadership capabilities that create continuous feedback loops between individual leadership practices and systemic organizational outcomes. The framework provides a novel approach to leadership development that addresses the complexity and interdependence characterizing today's organizational environments.
