Synopsis

In this revolutionary new book, author Bill Grace presents an innovative leadership model designed to cultivate a worldview suited for today s interconnected global society. He offers a framework for people aspiring to live for the good of others because they know that is ultimately the only way to thrive. Through concrete exercises, Sharing the Rock helps readers determine their deepest values, which Bill proves are the heart and soul of leadership. He then demonstrates how living by these ideals allows the advancement of the common good. Readers learn a practical model for integrating ethics into everyday life and how to make choices based on concern for all. Bill s groundbreaking approach emphasizes attention to justice, care, and inclusiveness, and stresses the urgent need to adopt these practices immediately. Sharing the Rock presents seven principles at the core of this new leadership model. These include traditionally valued leadership traits, such as commitment and vision, and expand on them to include such important practices as seeking out the perspectives of the marginalized, welcoming unpopular points of view, and cultivating the leader s genuine expression and voice.
