Synchronicity: The Inner Path of Leadership
by Joseph Jaworski Through the telling of his life story, Jaworski posits that a real leader sets the stage on which "predictable miracles" can - and do - occur. He shows that this capacity has more to do with our being, our total orientation of character and consciousness, than with what we do. He describes three basic shifts of mind required if we are to create and discover an unfolding future and offers a new definition of leadership that applies to all types of leaders. |
