The world today faces many challenges. While our total wealth has increased enormously and we benefit from technological miracles, billions of people are living in abject poverty, we face the threat of environmental disaster, and even those in prosperous nations feel insecure about the future. Addressing these problems requires a different kind of leadership which sees things as they really are and resolves them in a holistic way. That is what The Leader's Way offers - a manifesto for change which can have an impact at every level, from the individual to the global
Stronger, more effective leaders can improve their decision-making and influence their organizations and ultimately the global marketplace in a way that brings about good for the whole of society. The Leader's Way takes readers on a progressive path: first teaching individuals the art of making the right decisions, then tackling the issue of leadership for their organizations, before applying these new principles on a global scale to address such vital topics as poverty, sustainability, diversity, and environmental responsibility
True leaders have the ability to look at an issue from many perspectives and make the right decisions based on their expanded view. Their minds are calm, collected and concentrated, undisturbed by negative thoughts and emotions, trained and focused. True leadership recognises the inevitability of change, the need for a sense of universal responsibility, and the importance of combining an economic system with moral values
That is The Leader's Way and it is here that the ultimate wishes of the Dalai Lama and Laurens van Muyzenburg are expressed: that by improving the quality of our leader's decisions, we will find ourselves in a better world for everyone
