Leadership for Today's World

Most books on leadership focus on skills - those visible aspects of leaders that garner applause, accolades and awards. This book is concerned with what is usually overlooked - the invisible aspects - ones that may never get noticed but without which a leader can never be truly great.   We are concerned with that inner dimension that not only enhances important skills but determines if the leader will choose to forgo self-interest for the common good. It is those inner qualities, attitudes, and values that equip a leader to accept personal sacrifice in order to catalyze transformation. These are the leaders we need today.

Since its initial formulation more than 25 years ago, Transformative Leadership has been applied in more than 60 workshops and projects in some 40 countries around the world, transforming lives in the fields of education, public health, community development, and youth empowerment.  

The book:

• Examines the characteristics of the times we live in and the need for a new style of leadership that can be exercised by all.
• Questions the traditional mental models of human nature, society, and leadership that impede progress toward a just. united global society 
• Proposes a conceptual framework, based on principles, that reinforces cooperative action in teams, organizations and communities
• Focuses on 18 capacities that contribute to personal transformation, enhance relationships and advance the transformation of society.

The 6 elements of the conceptual framework are:

• Service-oriented leadership
• The purpose of leadership: personal and social transformation
• The moral responsibility to investigate and apply truth
• Essential nobility of human beings
• Transcendence
• Development of capabilities

The book is especially useful for
- Educators

- All those who care about the state of the world today and who wish to contribute to improving society, starting with themselves and their immediate environment.
