Self-leadership is a critical capability, and this book aims to reinforce the importance of self-leadership within the context of organisations that are overwhelmed mainly by conflicting priorities, post-COVID tiredness and ongoing constant change. It asks and answers questions like:
- Who am I, and what resources do I have to contribute to my organisation and my community?How do my values and sense of purpose link to the organisational values and purposeHow can I exercise my leadership even though I may not have a formal role of high authority?How is my personal capability to learn and adapt linked to my sense of resilience and well-being?
This book doesn't just pose the questions, it provides practical strategies for implementing the answers you uncover for yourself.
Uniquely, Purposeful Cultures provides a systemic view of self-leadership and is delivered as a workbook to make your own and identify how you can change so that we can all change and positively influence complex adaptive challenges, including global challenges like climate and ecological crisis. We are all a part of the larger set of nested systems, and so we all have the potential to influence them for the greater good.
Readers are encouraged to develop conversations within their work teams about the topics and nurture a cultural movement towards increasing team and organisational adaptability, resilience, regeneration, and ultimately sustainability in the broadest sense of a system striving to survive and thrive.
Organisations will witness a growing willingness to change, an improved ability to connect and influence others, more creativity being liberated to fuel innovative approaches and more tenacity to stick at and make progress on difficult challenges.
