Mind And Heart

This book shows how leaders can use life and leadership experience to make a more meaningful contribution to the world It leads us into the inner world of leadership that we often tend to deny: the intuitive insight that at the core of our leadership journey is our contribution to the collective evolutionary process. What if we all knew the place within that is at home with the universe? What if we all knew how it feels to tend the common, the very force that nurtures all of us? Building on her own leadership journey and intensive conversations with 14 leaders from eight different countries around the world, Petra Kuenkel shows us how we can reconnect with the deeper theme of our journey and develop our own humanity as a gateway to leadership for sustainability. "It is refreshing to find such an accessible integration of complex theory, diverse leadership voices and practically probing, reflective questions. This book is an excellent resource for anybody who is serious about personal leadership development and sustainability."
