Publisher's summary

As leaders, how we are is as important as what we do. This new edition of a leadership classic shows how to master the inner and outer work needed to build relationships that unleash the transformational creative potential in everyone.

Top-down, one-dimensional leadership models are hopelessly outmoded in today’s rapidly changing world. And they waste the leadership ability present throughout an organization, not just at the top. In the second edition of this visionary book, Karen and Henry Kimsey-House provide a model that harnesses the possibility of many rather than relying on the power of one.

Co-active leadership is a deeply collaborative approach, but the last of its five dimensions focuses on the individual: leading from within. We must be fully present and live with integrity, openheartedness, and self-awareness if we are to make the kind of conscious, creative choices co-active leadership demands.

The second edition is updated with two additional chapters, one offering new ways to utilize the Co-Active Leadership Model and another that goes deeply into the Co-Active philosophy that drives the authors’ approach. Each of the five dimension chapters is expanded to incorporate feedback, new language, case studies, and practical suggestions for practice and development.

A well-rounded perspective of leadership

I am a coactive coach and familiar with the concept of leader within. It was a great to hear this full-bodied perspective of leader ship and the accompanying dimensions. My favorites are the leader beside the leader behind. I spent the last 25 years in the area of leadership and talent development. I know the value that is added when there is a supportive framework for leadership as well as dynamic collaboration between team members, partners, or co-owners.

This book is well worth the read and will broaden your understanding of the dynamics of leadership and how critical they are to professional and personal development.

One of the best books on leadership

Top notch content. The framework and discussion of it are great. Great narration too. This is probably the best book on leadership that I’ve ever read.
