Synopsis
The business world is increasingly complex, with the pace of disruptive change creating an uncertain future. To respond effectively to this shifting context, transformational change is required: this can only happen when those who seek to lead this change are leaders who are awake to self, relationships and the wider systemic organization. Embodying Authenticity explores the theory and practice of an integrated somatic methodology and demonstrates how this approach supports collective and individual transformation, which are interdependent, inseparable and indispensable for creating meaningful organizational change. The focus is on starting small, creating a shift in one part of the organization and enabling this change to self-generate and be amplified more widely throughout the whole system. This approach embodies a move from transactional to transformational leadership. The book includes the voices and experience of leaders and practitioners, adding colour and richness through real practical examples and case studies.
