Consciousness-Based Leadership and Management, Volume 2, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"In both theory and practice there is a bias in the conceptualization of leadership, it is a focus on behavior. The key to elevating leadership is in understanding the concept of consciousness. These volumes are an invaluable contribution." -Professor Robert E. Quinn , Center for Positive Leadership, Ross School of Business, University of Michigan, USA.

"These volumes provide a refreshingly new and concise consciousness-based framework for management as a source of world benefit. They are a much-needed resource to build emphasis on consciousness as the basis for action, in business and elsewhere."

-Chris Laszlo, Professor of Organizational Behavior, Case Western Reserve University, USA

This two-volume set examines the need for a consciousness-based view of leadership, which emphasizes universal human flourishing, as opposed to a resource-based view, which focuses on sustaining a competitive advantage. This approach is built around three main principles: 1) Paradigm (Consciousness is primary, including complementary existence of opposites), 2) Social / Interpersonal (focusing on empathy and compassion), and 3) Individual (experiencing Oneness and expressing creativity).

Volume Two is divided into two sections. Each section offers a mix of qualitative and quantitative studies. The first section focuses on consciousness-based development of organizational capabilities such as ambidexterity, flow, and work-life balance. The second section is focused on organizational interventions such as reinvention, meaning-making, well-being, and sustainability.

Aligning leadership practices with the notion of an unbounded consciousness, this edited collection will extend literature on organizational culture, leadership, and sustainability, contributing to solving the grand challenges facing humanity.
