Beskrivning

Leaders are not immune to the forces at work in our current age of volatility and disruption. Many describe a state of exhaustion so complete they wonder if recovery is possible. We all desire connection, rootedness, and spaces filled with imagination and wonder—yet the weight of our collective challenges can leave us in a constant state of “survival mode.” This book is an invitation for leaders who desire to live, work, and play authentically to reimagine their leadership practices with creativity, connection, and care. Drawing on philosophy, the humanities, the arts, and ecology, leaders will discover strategies through reflection and practical exercises to renew their inner sense of possibility and purpose. Leadership development practitioners will find the theoretical depth and real-world applicability of these chapters invaluable for their work.ILA’s Building Leadership Bridges series captures the best contemporary thinking about leadership from a diverse range of scholars, practitioners and educators working around the globe.In keeping with the mission of the ILA the book series builds connections between how people research, imagine and experience leadership across cultures.

It is far too common for good leaders to become tired from endless activities, deadlines, and expectations, all at risk of losing themselves in the process. This book arrives as a lifeline weaving together artistic approaches, mindful practices, and ecological wisdom. Contributors share perspectives and practices not found in the traditional leadership literature on why and how leaders should and can take time to be still to reorient their souls. Practical exercises move beyond theory to immediate application, practices to help you develop presence, spark imagination, and rediscover joy in your leadership role. The book invites leaders to better understand and attend to their humanity, which as the authors demonstrate, is core to good leadership.
