The second edition of this leadership classic, updated with new chapters, shows how to master the inner and outer work needed to build relationships that unleash the transformational creative potential in everyone.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe need to expand beyond top-down, one-dimensional leadership models and find alternatives that are more fluid and inclusive and that harness the possibility of many rather than relying on the power of one. This is exactly what Karen and Henry Kimsey-House provide in this groundbreaking book. Co-Active Leadership is a deeply collaborative approach, which is why the first of its five dimensions is leading from within: self-leadership. Leaders must be fully present and live lives of integrity, openheartedness, and self-awareness if they are to make the kind of conscious, creative choices Co-Active Leadership demands.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eEach of the remaining four dimensions work together holistically. Depending on the situation, you may lead from the front, offering guidance and inspiration; from behind, supporting and encouraging others; from beside, partnering with and supporting other members of your team; or from the field, drawing on insights and wisdom available beyond the rational mind.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis edition includes two new chapters, one offering new ways to utilize the Co-Active Leadership Model and another that goes deeply into the Co-Active philosophy. Co-Active Leadership celebrates and honors different expressions of leadership. It invites all of us to share our expertise and allows collaborative solutions to emerge that would never have been possible otherwise.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56301921370485,"sku":"9781523091126","price":23.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781523091126_0214bfb7-917d-4c02-9939-50ee4e93d58f.jpg?v=1786022336"},{"product_id":"integration-the-power-of-being-co-active-in-work-and-life","title":"Integration: The Power of Being Co–Active in Work and Life","description":"We live in a world of both profound separation and deep longing for connection. Betz and Kimsey-House explore not only the historical and spiritual history of our disconnection and its cost to individual and societal well-being, but also provide a compelling, neuroscience-based argument for how to make the next “great turning” of human development: becoming more integrated human beings. They invite you to accompany them through a road map to integration by exploring in detail the Co-Active model, originally used by coaches, but with practical application to business, parents, teachers, and anyone with a desire to be more effective, connected, and whole. Richly illustrated with true stories of integration in action, as well as current research in neuroscience, this book provides a guide to reaching our full potential within ourselves, with each other, in groups and organizations and with society at large.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNAUTILUS BOOK AWARDS-SILVER WINNER 2015 in the Category: Relationships and Communications http:\/\/www.nautilusbookawards.com\/2015_SILVER_Winners.php","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57487684338037,"sku":"9781782798651","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781782798651.jpg?v=1786354910"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-karen-kimsey-house.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
