One thing is clear about today's leadership model. It's NOT working! We chose "Healing" in the title to describe a new kind of leadership that we propose. We see the present problems in organizations and civilization at large, to be rooted in the destructive "story" we are now living. In the story of humankind, we believe we have moved from living in harmony with the world to having complete control over the world. Hierarchical leadership has caused great damage and even threatens the very existence of our species. If we are to change the story we are living from one of conquest to one of harmony, a call for a new kind of leadership is required. Healing Leadership is that call. Healing Leadership is the culmination of our five-year effort to "deconstruct" the way we, as consultants intuitively work with leaders. Instead of focusing on leverage, motivation and power, we encourage leaders to focus on themselves; to maintain an authentic presence that is non-anxious and does not depend on changing someone else. This approach removes behaviors that inevitably backfire and keeps people and organizations entrenched in the status quo. We believe anyone can benefit from exposure to this way of being intentional about increasing effectiveness as a leader while practicing responsible self-care. In a society where leaders are first idealized then demonized, the role of leader has become increasingly toxic. Those who would dare lead authentically and courageously face a barrage of criticism, gridlock and sabotage. We believe that surviving and thriving in today's "leadership-averse" climate requires a comprehensive approach to building, conserving, investing and protecting personal energy. Healing Leadership proposes what we call the "Energy Management Model" (EMM). This model maps a way of being intentional about the central tasks that are no longer optional for leaders who wish to remain healthy, creative and effective. The Energy Management Model asks three critical questions of every leader: Who am I? Where am I going? Who will go with me? The model offers an organized way of gaining greater awareness around these questions and clarifies critical tasks as the leader seeks to answer them. The model provides a framework for building, preserving and investing personal energy as a way to increase the leader's functioning and maturity in the art of true leadership.

Leaders of today must possess potent powers for logic, reason, discernment and strategic forecasting. Yet, they must also be empathic and therefore embodied; grounded and therefore intuitive; present and therefore awake. They must be skilled in mindfulness and deep listening, able to inspire authentic engagement and collaboration, and possess a clear and wholehearted sense of service, mission and purpose - restoring coherence where there is fragmentation and unity where there is division. Nicholas Janni presents this new and necessary leadership style as the Leader as Healer. The book outlines both a theoretical and practical map towards a new form of leadership, one that embodies the 'skill, heart, and wisdom' that the current moment demands. The pathway Janni describes is one of integration and restoration, which is designed to reawaken the innate human capacities - physical and emotional, individual and transpersonal - that were previously discarded and forgotten during our perilous journey towards profit-maximization and "infinite" economic growth. It offers a way to grow ourselves as leaders and to heal our organizations.

The image of modern corporations has been shaped by a profits over people approach, but we are at a point where business must take the lead in healing the crises of our time. The Healing Organization shows how corporations can become healing forces. Conscious Capitalism pioneer Raj Sisodia and organizational innovation expert Michael J. Gelb were inspired to write this book because of the epidemic of unnecessary suffering connected with business, including the destruction of the environment; increasing numbers living paycheck-to-paycheck and barely surviving; and rising rates of depression and stress leading to chronic health problems. Based on extensive in-depth interviews and inspiring case studies, Sisodia and Gelb show how companies such as Shake Shack, Hyatt, KIND Healthy Snacks, Eileen Fisher, H-E-B, FIFCO, Jaipur Rugs and DTE Energy are healing their employees, customers, communities and other stakeholders. They represent a diverse sampling of industries and geographies, but they all have significant elements in common, besides being profitable enterprises: Their employees love coming to work. They have passionately loyal customers. They make a significant positive difference to the communities they serve. They preserve and restore the ecosystems in which they operate. The enmity and dividedness between those who champion unfettered capitalism and those who advocate socialism is exacerbating rather than solving our problems. In a world that urgently needs healing on many levels, this is a movement whose time has come. The Healing Organization shows how it can be done, how it is being done, and how you can begin to do it too.
