THE GREATEST CHALLENGES FACING MOST LEADERS TODAY ARE PROFITABILITY, EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT, AND INNOVATION.

For modern companies the old-style command and control, top-down, authoritative, and hierarchical leadership methods that were necessary at one time, have become too limiting, too controlling, and too wasteful of vital human capital to be effective in our modern world. We currently have four to five of the most independent minded, self-empowered, educated generations in the history of humanity in the workforce--none of whom work best when simply told what to do.

The Innovation Age has brought with it an explosion of both technology and individualism which are evolving at breakneck speeds. The old style of leadership is a liability and directly impacts the bottom line and the health of our organizations.

As leaders, we must not only accept this reality, but we must also begin exploring and embracing new leadership models that align with he world in which we live and the consciousness of the people we lead. The way forward must include models and methods that value individualism over institutionalism and in turn free human capital to increase levels of employee engagement and drive profits.

In this book, leadership consultant and expert Jeffrey S. Deckman presents a model of conscious leadership that provides key principles and insight for leading in the 21st century.

"The beauty of the Conscious Leadership Book Series is that it engages you in the way you learn and in doing so feels like a very well-tailored solution to your becoming the leader you want to be. It feels as if Jeffrey Deckman is talking with you instead of at or over you and that makes it easy to learn in a very comfortable way."

"I experienced Jeffrey Deckman's work first hand when I was apolitical candidate and now as House Minority Leader in the Rhode Island State House. If every elected official read this book and committed to becoming a more conscious leader, the people would be much better served by their government. In this book, Deckman flips the script for a new generation of leadership and in doing so empowers any type of twenty-first century organization to achieve their potential."
 
BlakeFilippi, Minority Leader, Rhode Island House of Representatives

He's never been willing to accept the status quo,especially when it is clear it is not working. His approach to conscious leadership provides the tools for anyone at any level of experience to grasp the concept being presented and then to put it into practice in the real world. If you want to fast track your transformation into a twenty-first century conscious leader then this book is definitely a must-read."
