On becoming a Transformative Leader: Leading in a Complexifying World

Beschrijving

Since the 1980s our world order entered a new phase when neoliberal capitalism progressively morphed into the veins of Earth and human systems, leadership included. At the same time our world and our lives complexifies.

The current leadership lacks the leadership presence to deal with the complexification of our world. Even more so their policies converted centuries-old challenges—like inequality, resource exploitation, environmental degradation and upholding democratic values—into wicked problems. These endanger the future of humanity.

Transformative leadership could be one of the answers to these challenges. This book presents the theoretical foundation of transformative leadership and describes the pathway of becoming a transformative leader.

“During these days full of worries for anyone with a moral conscience, this book show us a valuable path to the future. Jaap Geerlof lead readers through recent history and offers a promising perspective for coping with the world’s major problem through the concept of transformative leadership. This is a book full of hope.”
