An inspiring and bold book with exciting ideas that goes beyond power-as-we-know-it and unlocks the beauty-of-power. The author shows that we are on the verge to another revolution in our understanding of how power dynamics works. Power is often perceived from a victim’s perspective, fuelling the tendency to reject power altogether. This book shows that this attitude is disastrous. Can we overcome the challenges we are currently facing, such as artificial intelligences, climate change, and war? Nothing less is at stake than diversity and inclusion, our species and its achievements such as democracy, our critical thinking, our arts, intuition and life itself. THE BEAUTY-OF-POWER enhances awareness with respect to different layers of consciousness and shows how they impact our perception and actions. With this book in hand, uncover the different layers of collective consciousness and witness how victimhood transforms into shared power-for the ecosystem; leadership grows from dependency to purpose and leadership collectives; linear economy transforms into circular economy; urgency-driven life turns into sense-making. LEADERSHIP COLLECTIVES ARE THE POWER ALCHEMISTS OF THE 21st CENTURY Dr Maria Spindler sees leadership collectives as essential levers when it comes to making sense on the level of individuals, collaboration, organisation, society and the planet. Conscious leadership collectives prevent us from seeing organisations as holy cows and making AI our master. Their meaningful connections give us the courage to raise awareness of how we are running our businesses, governments and lives on Earth. The beauty-of-power provides theories, tools and case studies help increasing and organising the quality of leadership and life on a larger scale.weiterlesen
