Praise for Source

"Source is one of the most compelling and original books on leadership I have read. Not only does it deepen our understanding of leadership, it brings us closer to a fuller understanding of our authentic self, the source of effective leadership."
--Warren Bennis, University Professor, University of Southern California and author of Still Surprised: A Memoir of a Life in Leadership

"A gem. Jaworski takes us on a personal journey to the source of creation. Profound and inspiring."
--W. Brian Arthur, economist and author of The Nature of Technology

"Source is an impressive account of Jaworski's lifelong quest into the underlying realities of life. It provides in a convincing way and at the right time the kind of insights we need to shape our future. This book is a must-read for everyone who aspires to a leading role in creating the next stage of human civilization."
--Herman Wijffels, former CEO, Rabobank; former Chairman, Social and Economic Council of the Netherlands; and former board member, The World Bank

"Leadership requires you to adapt thoughts to the facts and to inspire others with those thoughts. But which 'facts' do you see and how do thoughts become new 'ahas'? Source helps you to understand this process, bringing what you 'feel somewhere or vaguely' to a new level. So it's sustainable energy for your brain!"
--Jeroen van der Veer, Vice Chairman of the Board, Unilever PLC, and former CEO, Royal Dutch Shell Group of Companies

"Jaworski has spent his life exploring the path we all must walk if there is to be a livable future ahead. Source is a well-written story of the extraordinary people he has met and the fascinating discoveries he has made along the way. It can be read with pleasure and profit by anyone, and deserves to be."
--Dee W. Hock, CEO and Founder Emeritus, Visa International, and author of Birth of the Chaordic Age and One from Many

"Robert Greenleaf called foresight the 'central ethic of leadership, ' adding that 'to see the unforeseeable' and 'to know the unknowable' is the mark of a leader. If you want to know how to develop the capacity for better foresight, read Jaworski's book Source. It should be required reading for policymakers and those leading enterprises of every size."
--Jack Lowe, Chairman, TD Industries, and former Chairman of the Board, Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership

Reseña del editor:

Institutions of all sorts are facing profound change today, rising complexity at a speed and intensity we’ve never experienced before. So the nature of leadership must change as well. The old analytical approaches are not sufficiently flexible and creative. To be able to cope with this kind of change leaders need to be able to access the Source from which truly profound innovation flows.

Many people have experienced a connection with this Source, often when called upon to respond in times of crisis moments of extreme spontaneity and intuitive insight. Actions simply flow through them, seemingly without any sort of conscious intervention they don’t think about what to do, they just know. But these experiences are haphazard ordinarily we don’t know how to access the Source, and we even have a blind spot as to its very existence. Continuing the journey he began in Synchronicity, Jaworski tells the story of the development of the U Process, which enables people to overcome the blind spot and access the Source consistently, and his deep exploration of the “bottom of the U”, the part of the process where creative breakthroughs occur and where, as Jaworski puts it, there is a deep connection to Source. Jaworski’s key discoveries form a four-part statement of principles on which the structure of the book is based.

Knowledge gained through access to the Source is, in the words of one cognitive scientist Jaworski met, “shockingly effective.” It has a transformative impact on every aspect of leadership. You gain the capacity to bring forth new realities, which is what the best leadership does. When connected to this source leaders gain radically new ways of operating. Using the combination of narrative and reflection that made Synchronicity so compelling, Jaworski has written a book that illuminates not only the fundamental nature of visionary leadership but also of relationships, consciousness, and ultimately reality itself.
