The Contemplative Leader

By Patrick Boland & Richard Rohr
The Contemplative Leader by Patrick Boland & Richard Rohr digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

The most effective leaders are deeply aware of how their presence impacts every dimension of their leadership. This guide shows leaders in any organization how to move beyond the daily noise of your environment and connect with people to bring about change where it matters most.

Featuring interviews with world-renowned leaders, from Richard Rohr (contemplative teacher) to Margaret Wheatley (author of Leadership and the New Science) and Matthew McCarthy (former CEO of Ben & Jerry’s), this book provides a framework for understanding how best to connect with who we are and with those whom we lead. 

In The Contemplative Leader, psychotherapist, leadership consultant, and executive coach Patrick Boland integrates ancient wisdom with scientific research. He introduces psychological models, anecdotes, reflective questions, and innovative practices that outline how to:
  • Re-envision leadership as something that takes account of the breadth of human experience
  • Uncover the narratives that have shaped us so we can embrace our whole self (false self and true self) 
  • Focus on both the financials and the people, the results and the road that gets us there, the personal benefits and the impact on the wider organization and community

Whether you are a seasoned leader in need of a reset to connect with what’s most important, new to leadership and looking for some “soul” work to do to develop authentic influence, or seeking to integrate beneficial practices into your active roles inside and outside of work, The Contemplative Leader is a comprehensive guide to shaping relationships and systems to use your power and influence for good.
