The Enlightened Leader: An Introduction to the Chakras of Leadership
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Jan 2009, Pages: 284
The stark cases of ‘endarkened’ leadership that we have seen in recent years force us to think of fundamental change. But these are merely the alarm bells. It is time now to pay attention to the causes, the underlying assumptions that have for so long remained unquestioned – and to a working alternative. The search is on for a type of leadership that incorporates not just material values, but human values as well. A type of leadership that goes beyond exploitation and personal greed, and that we may justly call ‘enlightened’.
What would this leadership look like? How is it cultivated – in yourself and in others? And how do you make it work? In The Enlightened Leader corporate culture consultants Peter ten Hoopen and Fons Trompenaaars - whose work for global organisations gives them unique insights into leadership across all cultures - take the scalpel to some deeply engrained, but disreputable management theory. They show the way to healing, with ambition, passion and creativity.
To promote the needed awareness, the authors introduce ‘The Chakras of Leadership’, a model of leadership that differentiates seven levels of human energy use. Inspired by Yoga philosophy, it serves a prism that makes us look at leadership from seven distinct perspectives. The companion Chakra Test profiles the extent to which the seven aspects of leadership are developed, whether positively or negatively. The visualisations give a nuanced overview of your internal energy economy. The ideal is full spectrum energy expenditure, with all levels in harmony and positively directed.
The authors’ wealth of stories, sharp wit, and self–deprecating humour make The Enlightened Leader a challenging and inspiring read that has the capacity to be life changing.
