The Awakened Leader One Simple Leadership Style That Works Every Time, Everywhere

Written in a conversational tone, this argument that leadership styles do not need to change in different contexts gives readers permission to develop one style for every situation. This analysis asserts that all previously developed theories of leadership can be done away with in favor of one stylebased on flexibility and emotional intelligence. Readers are instructed as to the behaviors and traits necessary to become awakened leaders and they are warned about common mistakes. In-depth interviews with leaders in many settings, from corporate to non-profit and religious to personal, reveal crucial points for leadership success as well as organizational aspects for achieving greater job performance and satisfaction. Taking into account the many recognized leadership styles discussed in business literature, Awakened Leadership is presented as the most effective, versatile style of leading.
