In 1975, he was elected a fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers (the top 1 percent of trial lawyers). During fifteen of his twenty years with the firm, Jaworski was a senior partner and a member of the operating committee. He also helped to found United Savings Life Insurance Company (which later became Transport Life Insurance Company) and the Alaskan Oil and Refining Corporation (now Tesoro-Alaskan Refining Corporation). In addition, Jaworski ran a successful horse-breeding ranch; Circle J Enterprises, which produced an American Quarter Horse Association Supreme Champion in 1972. In 1980, Jaworski resigned from the law firm to found the American Leadership Forum, a nongovernmental agency responsible for developing collaborative leadership to deal with urban and regional problems in the United States. Ten years later, he was invited to join the Royal Dutch Shell Group of companies in London to lead a multinational team of experts in creating global scenarios; stories about the future of the world over the next thirty years. After his four-year assignment with the Royal Dutch Shell Group, Jaworski joined the MIT Center for Organizational Learning, where he worked with leading corporations to build learning organizations. He helped to create the Centre for Generative Leadership, a professional consortium that works collaboratively with clients to develop the leadership required to shape the future.
