Conscious Leadershift
This book provides a conscious-based view on leadershift, the ability and willingness to make changes in leadership to enhance organizational and personal growth, to help leaders shift from ego-driven motivations to that of collective consideration. It first evaluates the aspiration of managers and leaders towards leadership, fueled by ego and then examines an awakening process once an individual takes up a leadership role where they consider a shift in their priorities. Finally, this book discusses the concept of leadershift with a focus on behaviors geared towards collective progress and wellbeing.
This book is essential for every individual who perceives leadership as a critical calling in life. It is of particular use for current and aspiring leaders in corporate, entrepreneurial, and academic settings. It could also serve as a profound horizon for graduate and doctoral students who intend to take on leadership positions.
