Inspirational Leadership: Destiny, Calling and Cause

by Lance H. K. Secretan, Secretan Lance H. K.

Inspirational Leadership offers a radical theory of leadership based on the leadership practices of some of the greatest leaders of all time as well as many inspiring leaders of organizations today. The model of spiritual leadership proposed by this book contrasts to the theories of leadership widely practiced in modern organizations and in society. The book is divided into two parts. Part One explains the circumstances that led to our present intense hunger for a better way to lead others, for a way to inspire and ennoble them and their souls, for a way that all leaders can act toward every living and inanimate thing as sacred. History and mythology have much to say about leadership and Inspirational Leadership draws on this inheritance for some of its wisdom. Part Two explains the path to becoming an Inspirational Leader, which consists of a seven-step approach that has been followed by many of the greatest historical and contemporary Inspirational Leaders.
