    Leadership in a Challenging World is about a journey to wholeness. The whole self is sacred and required in order to lead well in the complex world of today and tomorrow.

    Divided into 3 parts, the book begins with the metaphor of the forest for the world, with both its demanding challenges and its magnificent possibilities. Part 2 uses the metaphor of walking on a path to suggest eight subjective human powers that are essential to leading in business today and tomorrow. Finally. part 3 describes an ancient basis for the powers and shows how they can serve to bring balance to each other that results in human wholeness.

    PART ONE - THE FOREST: *Global emergency *Related business issues and dilemmas *Crisis and opportunity for leaders *Envisioning possibilities *It's all in our minds *Seeing the garden in a whole new way *Bridge people
    PART TWO - A PATH: *The power of aliveness *The power of passion *The power of integrity *The power of authenticity *The power of relatedness *The power of expression *The power of perspective *The power of reverence
    PART THREE - THE WELL-WALKED PATH: *Integrating the eight powers *Walk well
