The Power of Belonging: How to Develop Safety, Inclusion, and Belonging for Leaders and Organizations

This book is for anyone who wants to achieve better personal and organizational effectiveness and fruitful business relationships. It is designed to give both the theoretical knowledge and the tools for action if you are to change the power dynamics in your organization.

Indeed, to operate in a global environment that is increasingly more relational than transactional, it is vital to cultivate globally competitive leaders to deal with ongoing change and challenges. The Power of Belonging is about addressing the challenge faced by most leaders: how to influence and achieve organizational goals.

This is also a book for individuals, especially as they learn that we cannot define ourselves by single dimensions – we are a synthesis of our backgrounds, experiences and philosophies. And we must come as the whole people that we are to form sustainable and meaningful relationships with others around the world. The most difficult lesson to learn perhaps is that belonging will remain a puzzle until we find that it has a personal dwelling place – that we must first belong deeply to ourselves.

Ready to be a change agent? Then this book is for you.
