Daring Leadership In The 21st Century

Many people are reflecting on leadership at this time. That is very understandable in a period of rapid change across the world, and in each nation, when all sorts of new challenges are occurring and when power is shifting from governments to global forces more powerful than nation states. The rapid developments of all sorts of technologies in communications, in science, in the medical field raise issues for us that we have never had to face before including in areas like genetics, the need to protect privacy, and in the conservation of the very future of the planet.

This book reflects not only on political leadership, but also on leadership in management and institutions, in movements for change and cross-cultural situations, and on aspects of spiritual, moral and ethical leadership. It is a thought-provoking discussion that challenges commonly held assumptions in plain and simple language - mercifully free of buzz words and jargon.
