Cherokee Wisdom 12 Lessons for becoming a Powerful Leader 2nd Edition

Cynthia M. Ruiz & Abraham Bearpaw

In the 2nd Edition of "Cherokee Wisdom 12 Lessons for becoming a Powerful Leader", Cynthia M. Ruiz has partnered with Abraham Bearpaw as a co-author. In Cherokee culture, everything is about harmony and balance. Abraham brings the balance of the male perspective on these concepts. Both Cynthia (Lion Mother) and Abraham (Yona/Bear) are registered citizens of the Cherokee Nation. Abraham is the nephew of Wilma Mankiller who served as the only female Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation from 1985 to 1995. He carries the wisdom of her teachings and the wisdom of his Cherokee lineage. Having both Cynthia and Abraham share their unique perspectives allows wholeness to the information being shared. This is not original content it is the information passed down from the Cherokee ancestors. This information can help you be a better leader and also a better person. Sometimes in life, we have to remember to keep it simple and not complicate life, that can be done through timeless Native wisdom.

Great perspective on authentic leadership.

I enjoyed learning more about Cherokee wisdom and thoughts on leadership with the unique and often very personal stories from the authors woven into each lesson. Great addition for those working on a values and authentic leadership.
