The Spirit of Leadership

About this book

"The business world is desperate for leaders. Companies everywhere search in vain for that one person who can make sense of their rapidly changing environment through assertiveness, charisma, and control. But renowned consultant Harrison Owen reveals that our inability to locate such a person is the result of misguided expectations. The solutions we seek, he says, don't lie with such old-style leaders. Today's world requires inspired leadership from all levels of the organization." "Here Owen calls for a new kind of leader, one who flows with rather than fights against change. In doing so, he presents the radical notion that spirit is the most important ingredient of any organization and that leadership means opening space for that spirit to show up in powerful and productive ways. The spirit of Leadership provides practical steps you can use today to uncover your own capacity for leadership in whatever position you are in, and to exercise that capacity both to enhance the performance of your organization and to find personal fulfillment.
