Sinopsis
Using his own story, the international bestselling author shows readers how 3 changes in mindset can help them shape their future.
Synchronicity is an inspirational guide to developing the most essential leadership capacity for our time: how we can collectively shape our future. Through the telling of his life story, Jaworski posits that a real leader sets the stage on which "predictable miracles," seemingly synchronistic in nature, can--and do--occur. He shows that this capacity has more to do with our being--our total orientation of character and consciousness--than with what we do. Leadership, he explains, is about creating--day by day--a domain in which human beings continually deepen their understanding of reality and are able to participate in shaping the future. He describes three basic shifts of mind required if we are to create and discover an unfolding future--shifts in how we see the world, how we understand relationships, and how we make commitments--and offers a new definition of leadership that applies to all types of leaders.
"A deeply personal and moving narrative that opens up new vistas on compassion, commitment, and connectedness--and hence on leadership." --James MacGregor Burns, Pulitzer Prize-winning presidential biographer and Woodrow Wilson Professor of Government, Emeritus, Williams College
"An insightful, profound, and readable contribution to understanding the personal side of leadership." --Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Ernest L. Arbuckle Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School, and author of SuperCorp
"An unusually thoughtful exploration of the "inner" aspects of leadership, particularly in the business arena.... Eschewing easy answers and ten-point plans to success, presenting the insights he has garnered from forward-looking thinkers including David Bohm and Rupert Sheldrake, Jaworski offers a searching and wise brief that deserves to be read in boardrooms everywhere." --Publishers Weekly
