About this title

Synopsis

Develop Street Smart Awareness The practices for developing the capacities for mature, adaptive and transforming leadership are well developed, but pragmatists often find a gap between current theories and applying them in real life. This book presents a collection of down to earth, Street Smart, simple and profound, practices that can be used in our families, teams, organisations, schools and communities. This promotes more mature and aware decision making and action in every walk and dream of life. Jane Allen and Heidi Gutekunst have gathered practices that chosen contributors use in their everyday life, and that usually are found in more rarified places where senior leaders take time out to reflect on their strategic leadership as individuals and in teams. Street Smart Awareness and Inquiry-in-Action is designed to bring fabulous wisdom and techniques in an accessible way and presented in everyday language. Readers can joyfully implement their own version of their chosen practices in their own life. What is your choice: Bum deal, Quiet and Mindlessness, Four Parts of Speech or..? The final part of the book are thought pieces and provocations by Bill Torbert, Heidi and Jane, demonstrating the application of Inquiry-in-Action in relation to some of the big issues we face as a society, such as the need for feminine power, evolved humanity and mature logic in critical issues for the future. Jane Allen is experienced in transformational leadership as a coach and confidante for leaders responsible for courageous work - supporting them to reach their highest aspirations. She champions the practices of mindfulness and authentic leadership. Heidi Gutekunst is a transformational catalyst for individuals, teams and organisations. She has a track record of leading transformations. She is a regular speaker at international Business Forums interested in her personal entrepreneurship and transforming ability.   Bill Torbert is Leadership Professor Emeritus at Boston College. Bill’s leadership article “Seven Transformations of Leadership” was selected as the “10 best ever” by Harvard Business Review.
