Synopsis

What are the qualities you need to live fully and lead authentically in our age? ''Is it possible for our institutions of work to become, in the words of American political analyst Yuval Levin, 'soul - forming institutions'? If so, what does leadership become? In this book, Dr. Millis clears a path and points the way for those willing to set out on this journey. The personal stories she asks us to ponder and put into practice transform abstract ideas such as 'deep engagement' into living realities. Leadership becomes a personal quest and calling.''' - from the Foreword Leadership consultant and coach Diane M. Millis offers a tool kit for leaders of all kinds and all levels of spiritual involvement - people of faith, people of no faith, spiritual but not religious - for deepening our engagement with our true selves, one another and the communities in which we live and work. Millis provides guiding precepts from many wisdom traditions to help us realize what we most value and identify where we find passion and purpose. As a result, we will be better able to inspire others in all that we do. Intriguing and challenging, this thought - provoking resource is ideal for use in personal reflection as well as for small group discussion, as a way to invite others to tap into their own leadership potential.
