Too many leaders, men and women alike, have bought into a notion of leadership that exclusively emphasizes traditionally masculine qualities: hierarchical, militaristic, win-at-all-costs. The result has been corruption, environmental degradation, social breakdown, stress, depression, and a host of other serious problems. But there is another way. Reaching into ancient spiritual and mythical teachings, Nilima Bhat and Raj Sisodia revive a feminine archetype of leadership: generative, cooperative, creative, empathetic. While these qualities are often thought of as feminine, we all have them; however, for people in leadership positions, they tend to be undervalued and underdeveloped. Using exercises and inspirational examples, Bhat and Sisodia guide us through our own heroic journey to discover and access this source of energy and begin to lead with our whole selves."
