Отрывок из книги
So you want to be an extraordinary leader? Great! Conscious leadership is a needed and worthwhile aspiration. Pursuing this endeavor will challenge, stretch, and transform you as a person. Good leadership opens doors of opportunity for your career, business and life. Far more important, it influences and changes lives—both yours and the lives of those who follow. Conscious leadership is a powerful tool that influences, builds, collaborates, and transforms when wielded with intention and humility. To wield this type of power requires that you deeply care about those who follow your lead.
When coaching small business and Fortune 500 companies in leadership development and mindfulness, I often encounter individuals thrust into leadership positions without the slightest knowledge of collaboration, emotional intelligence, leadership style, conflict management, or understanding of self and strengths. This is evident even at the highest levels of leadership. A few years ago, I coached a vice president from a prominent world leading software company. He manifested a traditional authoritarian coercive leadership style that produced a 40 percent attrition rate in his organization. Tenets and principles that seemed obvious tome were oblivious to him.

An anthropologist visited Africa to study a particular village. One day he noticed a group of young elementary school kids playing outside. He approached them and shared a game he wanted to play. After setting a bag of fruit and treats, highly valued by the children, near a tree on the other side of the village, he instructed them to rush toward the tree. The first child to reach the tree wins all the treats. The kids never experienced anything like this before.
The anthropologist shouted, “GO!” But instead of racing to the tree, the African kids stood still for about twenty seconds. The children locked hand and arms together and ran toward the treats. The anthropologist looked shocked. He asked the children about what they had done. They replied, “This is Ubuntu. One of us can’t be happy if all the others are sad. This is Ubuntu. I am because we are.”
