Leadership & Management

Written in a conversational tone, this analysis argues that leadership styles do not need to change in different contexts, thus giving readers permission to develop one style that works for every situation. Readers are instructed on 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 nonprofit and religious to personal, reveal crucial points for leadership success as well as organisational aspects for achieving greater job performance and satisfaction. Taking into account the many recognised leadership styles discussed in business literature, "Awakened Leadership" is presented as the most effective, versatile style of leading.
