This book discusses leadership throughout it's entire spectrum - from "Becoming the leader you most want to be" to "Seeing your dream - Building an Energizing Personal Vision" to "Igniting resonance - Creating Effectiveness in teams, Organizations, and communities." This book also comes with a list of leadership "Exercises" that direct you to a specific page in the book. Recommended for helping people gain a sense of steps they should take to develop their leadership. 80% of this book is about being internally resonant so that you can resonate with others and help a team resonate. It's full of exercises to promote self-realization in a range of dimensions. As a book targeted to executives, it presumes a high level of self-awareness such that exercises don't require a lot of explanation. If I hadn't already read a lot in this genre, I'd probably have found it a very thorough and useful process. But I have read a lot in this genre and didn't find much new - for me. For someone who hasn't inquired much of their self and who wants to be a better leader, this is probably a practical start. The premise? If you don't build cycles of rest and renewal into your life you can't sustain effective leadership. Lots of spiffy charts with arrows and boxes and dotted lines and things. Lots of spiffy end-notes. Spiffy, spiffy, spiffy. Of course, Stephen Covey was telling us to "Sharpen the Saw" 20 years ago but that's an old hat now, isn't it? $30 C for an obvious, old and obviously old concept in a spiffy new package. Sigh. no reviews | add a review
