Artful Leadership is an evocative and timeless exploration about what it means to be an authentic leader. Author Michael Jones reminds us that beyond technique leading is ultimately about being fully human. it is about nurturing what is most personal while – maintaining an awareness and connection with each other, our work and the larger world. Leading artfully is grounded in being present, deep listening, beauty, grace and finding our own story and voice. It is also acting in service to the commons or collective imagination which commits us to being present to the organic flow of learning and change. It may be our openness to following this thread of our own curiosity and aliveness that ensures we don’t stagnate under the dominance of a mechanistic word view. We are at an inflection point today. We stand at the threshold of great risk – and great possibility. We can step forward and make a home in the future together that is alive with generativity and love or we can step back and risk being consumed by pessimism and fear. Choosing this life of possibility is the path of Artful Leader
