Download or read book Leader as Healer A New Paradigm for 21st Century Leadership written by Nicholas Janni and published by Lid Publishing. This book was released on 2022-08-23 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leaders of today must possess potent powers for logic, reason, discernment and strategic forecasting. Yet, they must also be empathic and therefore embodied; grounded and therefore intuitive; present and therefore awake. They must be skilled in mindfulness and deep listening, able to inspire authentic engagement and collaboration, and possess a clear and wholehearted sense of service, mission and purpose - restoring coherence where there is fragmentation and unity where there is division. Nicholas Janni presents this new and necessary leadership style as the Leader as Healer. The book outlines both a theoretical and practical map towards a new form of leadership, one that embodies the 'skill, heart, and wisdom' that the current moment demands. The pathway Janni describes is one of integration and restoration, which is designed to reawaken the innate human capacities - physical and emotional, individual and transpersonal - that were previously discarded and forgotten during our perilous journey towards profit-maximization and "infinite" economic growth. It offers a way to grow ourselves as leaders and to heal our organizations.

Download or read book Holistic Leadership written by Satinder Dhiman and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-11 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book suggests that the solution to the current leadership crisis lies in leaders' self-cultivation process, emanating from their deepest values and culminating in their contribution to the common good. Traditional approaches to leadership rarely provide any permeating or systematic framework to garner a sense of higher purpose or nurture deeper moral and spiritual dimensions of leaders. Learning to be an effective leader requires a level of personal transformation on the continuum of self, spirit, and service. Synthesizing the best of contemporary approaches to leadership in a holistic manner, this book presents a unique model of leadership that is built on the sound principles of Self-Motivation, Personal Mastery, Creativity and Flow, Emotional Intelligence, Optimal Performance, Appreciative Inquiry, Authentic Leadership, Transformational Leadership, Positive Psychology, Moral Philosophy, and Wisdom Traditions of the world. This broad interdisciplinary approach is well-suited to effectively address the multifaceted issues faced by contemporary organizations and leaders. It will be of great interest to graduate business and organizational leadership students and faculty as well as corporate leaders.

Download or read book Grounded written by Bob Rosen and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative, personal approach to leadership based on in-depth research with hundreds of executives around the world Confronted by disruptive change and economic turbulence, many of today's leaders find themselves ill-equipped to manage the hazards they now face. They must contend with chronic uncertainty, cynical employees, and personal burnout. Most are poorly served by the prevailing paradigm that obsessively focuses on what we do to produce short-term results while sabotaging who we are as healthy human beings. Few have seen alternatives, until now. Grounded proposes a new approach that's designed for actual humans who must grapple with these forces. This new paradigm speaks to our better selves. Based on the author's Healthy Leader model, it focuses on the six personal dimensions that fuel—and refuel—the world's top leaders: physical, emotional, intellectual, social, vocational, and spiritual health. The book argues that leaders at every level can be more self-aware, develop their untapped potential, and drive significantly better results—for themselves, their teams, and their organizations. Shows readers how to build a personal leadership model that works with their values, goals and capabilities Features fresh stories from leaders in a variety of organizations including the New York Fire Department, PricewaterhouseCoopers, The Lego Group, and Medstar Health Gives leaders practical tools to face their toughest challenges with greater skill, confidence, and impact By developing themselves and mastering the six dimensions, readers can gain the stamina and strength to not only weather tough times but to achieve much, much more.
Download or read book HEALING A WOUNDED LEADER written by Wendell J. Davis Sr. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-05-16 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective leadership is required in the twenty first century churches, as these churches are facing numerous issues due to ineffective leadership. In order to lead churches, wounds of leaders must be healed up in the Christian ministry. Today, the churches of America are facing leadership issues because their leaders’ wounds are not treated and healed up. This results in critical, crippling and catastrophic effect on the Christian Ministry. Those life-threatening wounds must be identified. The healing of the wounded leader is essential to the Spirit well being of the people. The purpose of the study is to investigate the wounds face by church leaders. The study also investigates that how these wounds affect church leadership. This study also identifies methods of healing of wounded leader and interventions used from transforming wounded leaders into an active and effective leader. Many churches are facing numerous leadership issues due to leaders’ wounds. Identification of this issue is important for the development and implementation of churches in America. This study helps in investigating the wounds among leaders and their relationship with leadership ineffectiveness. The study helps in identifying the meaning of wounds. This study helps in studying impact of wounds on church leaders in detail. This study classifies wounds as divorces, childhood traumatic experiences such as rape, molestation and physical abuse through domestic violence, emotional abuse through verbal altercations and mental abuse from a sibling, parent, spouse, authority figure or partner in a relationship. For this study mixed method was done. Survey interview questions and observational research were done. According to the participants, many of the transformational leadership concepts are transferrable into the church context, however, including idealized influence, which espouses the leader as a role model with high moral standards and ethical conduct, and as one who considers the needs of others before his or her own. According to the participants, Old Testament suggested, there are numerous examples of leadership development in the Old Testament, the short space available in this review will dictate a focus on one of the most obvious and well-known leadership examples. According to the respondents, personality is becoming more and more associated with leadership style and ability. This is particularly true when one is discussing the concept of transformational leadership. Due to leadership issues in American churches, Christian community is reluctant to visit their nearby churches regularly. The results depicted that due to past wounds or inner wounds the church leaders are not able to have Holy spirits. The wounds must be healed up for attaining pure Holy spirits. If their wounds are properly healed up then they can more firmly believe as the apostle on the super natural healings signs and miracles. The unhealed wounds of the church leaders hinders in the way of the leaders for praying for the humanity or for those who are suffering from hardships regularly. The lack of pastoral visitations of the members is due to the wounded souls of the leaders. For increasing the pastoral visitations of the members, the church leaders’ wounds must be healed up by using various methods. Ineffective leadership is practicing in the churches; these leaders are not conducting the different counseling sessions for the Christian communities. The Christian communities are not interested in visiting churches because of the ineffective leadership. The ineffective leadership does not encourage Christian communities towards practicing God preaching at church. The church leadership is not effective to spiritually inspire Christian communities. the church leadership is not effective to initiate programs which are helpful for attracting and retaining Christian communities. missionary programs are not being implemented by many American churches because of lack of effective chur
Download or read book Environmental Leadership written by Deborah Rigling Gallagher and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2012-09-06 with total page 1027 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part of the SAGE Reference Series on Leadership, this 2-volume set tackles issues relevant to leadership in the realm of the environment and sustainability. Volume 1 of Environmental Leadership: A Reference Handbook considers such topics as environmental thought leadership (environmental ethics, conservation, eco-feminism, collective action and the commons and what we have termed contrarians); political leadership (the environmental challenge context for the expression of political leadership); governmental leadership (government initiatives to provide leadership in environmental management); private sector leadership (private sector leadership in environmental management as individuals, through organizations or through specific initiatives); nonprofit leadership (nonprofit sector leadership in topical areas such as conservation, advocacy, philanthropy and economic development); signaling events (events and their impact on the exercise of environmental leadership through individual, political and organizational actions); grassroots activism (profiles of individual environmental activists and considerations of how environmental leadership is exercised through activism); environmental leadership in journalism, literature and the arts; and environmental leadership in education. In Volume 2 we cover topics that confront the particular intractable characteristics of environmental problem solving. Individual chapters focus on how environmental leadership actions or initiatives may be applied to address specific problems in context, offering both analyses and recommendations. Overarching themes in this volume include taking action in the face of uncertainty (mitigating climate change impacts, adapting to climate change, protecting coastal ecosystems, protecting wetlands and estuaries, preserving forest resources, protecting critical aquifers, preventing the spread of invasive species, and identifying and conserving vital global habitats); promoting international cooperation in the face of conflicting agendas (designing and implementing climate change policy, reconciling species protection and free trade, allocating scarce resources, designing sustainable fisheries, addressing global overpopulation, preventing trade in endangered species, conserving global biodiversity, and mitigating ocean debris and pollution); addressing conflicts between economic progress and environmental protection (preserving open space, redesigning cities, promoting ecotourism, redeveloping brownfields, designing transit-oriented development, confronting impacts of factory farming, preventing non-point source agricultural pollution, confronting agricultural water use, addressing the impacts of agrochemicals, designing sustainable food systems, and valuing ecosystem services); addressing complex management challenges (energy efficiency, solar energy, wind energy, hydrogen economy, alternative vehicles, solid waste disposal, hazardous waste disposal, electronic waste disposal, life cycle analysis, and waste to energy); and addressing disproportionate impacts on the poor and the weak (preventing export of developed world waste to developing countries, minimizing co-location of poverty and polluting industries, protecting the rights of indigenous peoples, preventing environmental disease, protecting children′s health, providing universal access to potable water, and protecting environmental refugees). The final three chapters examine next-generation environmental leaders.
Download or read book Healing Leadership written by Steven Geske and published by . This book was released on 2011-12-29 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One thing is clear about today's leadership model. It's NOT working! We chose "Healing" in the title to describe a new kind of leadership that we propose. We see the present problems in organizations and civilization at large, to be rooted in the destructive "story" we are now living. In the story of humankind, we believe we have moved from living in harmony with the world to having complete control over the world. Hierarchical leadership has caused great damage and even threatens the very existence of our species. If we are to change the story we are living from one of conquest to one of harmony, a call for a new kind of leadership is required. Healing Leadership is that call. Healing Leadership is the culmination of our five-year effort to "deconstruct" the way we, as consultants intuitively work with leaders. Instead of focusing on leverage, motivation and power, we encourage leaders to focus on themselves; to maintain an authentic presence that is non-anxious and does not depend on changing someone else. This approach removes behaviors that inevitably backfire and keeps people and organizations entrenched in the status quo. We believe anyone can benefit from exposure to this way of being intentional about increasing effectiveness as a leader while practicing responsible self-care. In a society where leaders are first idealized then demonized, the role of leader has become increasingly toxic. Those who would dare lead authentically and courageously face a barrage of criticism, gridlock and sabotage. We believe that surviving and thriving in today's "leadership-averse" climate requires a comprehensive approach to building, conserving, investing and protecting personal energy. Healing Leadership proposes what we call the "Energy Management Model" (EMM). This model maps a way of being intentional about the central tasks that are no longer optional for leaders who wish to remain healthy, creative and effective. The Energy Management Model asks three critical questions of every leader: Who am I? Where am I going? Who will go with me? The model offers an organized way of gaining greater awareness around these questions and clarifies critical tasks as the leader seeks to answer them. The model provides a framework for building, preserving and investing personal energy as a way to increase the leader's functioning and maturity in the art of true leadership.

Download or read book Quantum Leadership written by Frederick Chavalit Tsao and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-30 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new book, Frederick Chavalit Tsao and Chris Laszlo argue that current approaches to leadership fail to produce positive outcomes for either businesses or the communities they serve. Employee disengagement and customer fickleness remain high, resulting in a lack of creativity and collaboration at all levels of entrepreneurial activity. Investor demand for Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) continues to be poorly integrated into profit strategies. Drawing on extensive research, this book shows how changing a person's consciousness is the most powerful lever for unlocking his or her leadership potential to create wealth and serve humankind. A wide range of practices of connectedness provide the keys. The journey to higher consciousness changes people at a deep intuitive level, combining embodied experience with analytic-cognitive skill development. Tsao and Laszlo show how leaders who pursue this journey are more likely to flourish with significant benefits to both business and society. These include greater creativity and collaboration along with an increased capability to inspire people and produce lasting change. Readers will come away with a deep understanding of quantum leadership and the day-to-day practices that can help them achieve greater effectiveness and wellbeing at work.
