Supra-Conscious Leadership: New Thinking for a New World [Paperback]

James N. Farr (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 1999

"The leadership void in contemporary society is no accident," says James Farr in Supra-Conscious Leadership: New Thinking for a New World. While some of our leaders are skilled at solving problems, few have taken time to examine the presuppositions that are the foundations of their decisions. They allow mindsets established in childhood to determine their current thinking and don't allow them to adapt with time. Farr offers a solution. He beckons trailblazers to reevaluate what it means to be a leader. He challenges us to create accredited leadership training programs, establish a code of ethics for leaders, and hold leaders accountable for their actions. Farr invites us to become supra-conscious leaders capable of meeting the challenges of our increasingly complex world.

This book can be useful to just about anyone even those not in a leadership position. Learning about awareness is always a good thing. However, my opinion is biased, the author is my father.

This review is from: Supra-Conscious Leadership: New Thinking for a New World (Paperback)

I was lucky to meet the author in my mid-twenties; even luckier to later work for him at his behaviorial science consulting firm. Over 30 years ago, Dr. Farr helped establish one the world's largest and best leadership development organizations: The Center for Creative Leadership. His pioneering insights into the applied psycho/sociological aspects of leadership make this book a very practical and important book for current and aspiring leaders.
