About this title

Synopsis

This is a compilation of introspective essays arising from the author’s search for his purpose in life, over an eleven-year period. His writings began as a desire to express aloud his deepest inner thoughts as a way of speaking and listening to himself during his search for self-knowledge. This is the third of three volumes in which the author captures his introspective thoughts and journey toward greater understanding of Purpose, Creativity and the Human Potential. These introspective writings bring greater understanding and help to elucidate the philosophy of Leading From Above The Line, conceived and developed by the author.

About the Author

Theodore Ferguson is an agricultural scientist by training, who lectured at the St. Augustine Campus of the University of the West Indies for 17 years. Now, he is a leadership educator, and a passionate advocate for a principled leadership ethos that springs from man's own humanity and is reinforced and shared in a social space. His is a philosophy in which his thoughts coalesced, and clarified themselves. This all occurred in an environment where his caged spirit had been bruised, battered and broken. It is from this reality, this journey, that his philosophy, "Leading From Above The Line", took form and grew. In his journey, and over many teachings, he has learnt that one needs to become more conscious of the destructive power and influence of the "inflated ego", which has a way of emerging and blinding us to our true intentions. According to Dr. Ferguson, his body of work is a message that speaks to our innate human goodness and to man's desire to live moral lives, in a world that seeks to normalise immorality. His message recognises the tremendous development potential of human beings, and their capacity to realise that potential through the harnessing of five sources of inner power: principle consciousness; awareness of purpose; emotional mastery; understanding change; and knowledge empowerment. Dr. Ferguson has shared this philosophy internationally. He has worked with regional and international organisations, governments, state corporations, private and public sector organisations, professionals and, most important, the youth.
