About Wholehearted Leadership
Now more than ever the world needs Wholehearted Leaders. Leadership has become a thing you do, a thing you learn, a thing you consciously apply. Meanwhile the world has become more and more complex, it’s too much for the conscious mind to process on its own. There has always been a role for the heart in leadership, think passion, courage, compassion, and inspiration. More than ever before these qualities must come to the fore if you’re to be a successful leader in the modern age of technology, speed, crisis and beyond. Are you ready to lead with your heart?
About the book
In this book we follow the journeys of 15 inspirational leaders from around the world who have grappled with the real impacts of the digital age and the increasing chaos, uncertainty and crisis we are facing in the modern world. They share their story, their approach as a Wholehearted Leader and how they have overcome great challenges and got the best out of those difficult situations for themselves and those around them.
What is a Wholehearted Leader?
Wholehearted Leaders are not just ‘fair weather leaders’, able to stand tall when things are sailing calmly along. Wholehearted Leaders have a connection to their heart that empowers them to make difficult decisions and stand strong even in the face of uncertainty and great adversity. This makes Wholehearted Leadership the only feasible choice to provide direction and support through sustained crisis and beyond.
Wholehearted Leaders display and champion these qualities:
- Authenticity. Real, honest, direct and speak their truth.
- Passion. It’s about the vision and positive impact, not the money. Able to stay open-hearted even when challenged.
- Commitment. 100% behind and believe in their vision and decisions, until it’s time to review.
- Humility. Always open-minded to new perspectives.
- Resilience. Not just a teaspoon of cement, but true professional detachment and non-judgement. It’s not about me, I’m ok and we’re ok no matter what.
- Compassion. Able to hold space for others who are experiencing difficulties. Provide the safe accountability your team and collaborators need.
- Empowerment. Self-empowered from within, Wholehearted Leaders have their own back. They also empower others to step up, make decisions and own solutions.
Wholehearted Authors
The Wholehearted Leadership book is being produced by Robert Kirby and Andrew Ramsden in partnership with Four Eagles Publishing. Robert and Andrew have over 50 years combined experience in leading large-scale change and executive and leadership coaching.
Of all the leaders they have worked with over this period, they noticed the difference between good leaders and truly great leaders has less to do with what the leaders DO and more to do with their passion, presence and commitment to themselves, their teams, their stakeholders and their vision. In short, they are Wholehearted.
We would like to invite
you to participate
Robert and Andrew are inviting select leaders who they believe are world-class Wholehearted Leaders to join in this multi-expert book opportunity, and have identified you as an excellent fit.
There’s absolutely no pressure to join in, but Robert and Andrew would love the opportunity to chat with you about the book and see if it’s something that aligns with what you’re trying to achieve in the world and the message you want to get out there.
What does it mean to be an author in this book?
- Contribute a chapter based on your leadership journey and how you think and feel about leadership. It can be story-based, teaching-based, or a combination of both. Chapters will be between 2-3000 words.
- Be a part of a network of incredible leaders who want to make a truly positive impact in the world and lead with their heart.
- Be part of coordinated promotions around the book launch. As a result, this book is very likely to become an International Best-Seller and reach a very wide audience. Four Eagles last 6 books went International Best-Seller within the first 48 hours of launch, so the formula works!
- Receive guidance and support throughout the planning and writing process to help you clarify your message, your voice and what you want to share with maximum impact.
- Receive guidance around how to leverage the book going forwards if that’s something you wish to do. Examples include: speaking opportunities, boosting your business, consultancy, freelancing, or executive career prospects.
Why or why not be involved?
- This isn’t about making money from book sales, it’s about getting your message out there. The visibility and authority that comes from being an International Best-Seller will open doors for you, and we’ll talk about how you can best leverage the book to further your vision.
- All proceeds from the sale of the books will be donated to a charity chosen by the coalition of authors involved with the book. This way we are not only championing a Wholehearted vision for the world through our words, but we can exemplify how we can make a huge difference through our actions and the book itself.
- In the modern world there are so many competing messages and noise, it’s important to stand out. Being a published author and international best-seller is a great way to show that you’re a recognised expert in the field.
- The process of articulating your story and/or approach to leadership can be a powerful process of honouring your journey and owning your greatness. Not in an arrogant way, in an authentic way. In other words, it’s not authentic to hide your light, or pretend to be less than you are. It’s time to let your light shine!
