Review
"To become an extraordinary leader, an executive must become a conscious leader by combining both executive management skills (vision, strategy, accountability, change management and risk) and conscious leadership abilities.
There are many leaders in our world, but only those who aspire to expand their conscious leadership abilities and endowments will position their organisation to flourish, and in themselves become influential, valuable and successful leaders. More importantly, they can become leaders whom people are inclined and willing to follow.
Leaders are not necessarily those who merely hold formal "leadership" positions; on the contrary, all people are potential leaders - the most effective ones are "conscious" leaders.
The insights presented in this book are incredibly powerful transformative tools that will enable you to access your true leadership potential with ease and joy, and provide expansiveness and success for you, your staff and your organisation." --Australian Institute of Company Directors
