Informationen zum Autor Pete Hamill is a consultant, facilitator and coach with an international background in leadership and organisational development. Klappentext We don't need leaders who know about leadership - we need leaders who embody the capacity to lead in the midst of ambiguity and complexity. The concept of embodied leadership is derived from somatic coaching, a unique approach that brings the body forward as an advocate in creating a place for change and transformation. It brings together language, action, feeling and meaning and is based on the idea that the mind and body are inextricably linked: to develop one, you must cultivate the other. Embodied Leadership deconstructs our thinking about the body using key discoveries in neuroscience to demonstrate the uses and benefits of a somatic approach, particularity in the area of emotional intelligence.There are practical exercises throughout to develop embodied leadership skills and personal development.Ideal for leaders who need to be able to deal with complexity and ambiguity in interpersonal and organizational relations while remaining a force for influence and change. Zusammenfassung The first practical guide to the theory and practice of embodied leadership techniques.
