Most of us know a thing or two about leadership. We have led and been led, whether being a parent, partner, an employee, boss or a citizen. Leading is part of daily life.
What we seem to know less about are the unconscious influences of leadership; how cultural and inherited archetypes shape and move us. Being aware of these shadowy influences has never been more crucial; we can see what is at stake when we do not inquire into what moves us to lead.
I have the privilege of sharing my interview with my mentor and colleague Dr. Arthur Ciaramicoli, Harvard Med. School psychologist, whose latest book is The Soulful Leader: Success with Authenticity, Integrity and Empathy. He shares his own personal stories of discovering how to shift away from a power-based model using divine feminine principles of empathy, interiority, vulnerability, and soul. He makes you not only want to be a better leader, but shows you how.
Are you a soulful leader?
