Leadership as Meaning-Making
In this book, John Varney explores leadership as a systemic and developmental process. Drawing on his experience in management development, design and experiential learning, he uses the metaphor of the Hero’s Journey to consider how people grow in maturity and influence the systems of which they are part.
Rather than offering a conventional leadership toolkit, the book connects personal development, the Enneagram, shared meaning and collective transformation. It invites readers to look beyond surface-level leadership behaviours and consider the inner development that can make purposeful leadership possible.
The book examines how people make sense of experience, how individuals and teams organise themselves, and how a clearer sense of vision and purpose can shape action. Reflective exercises offer readers opportunities to consider the ideas in relation to their own development.
It may be especially relevant to leadership coaches, facilitators, organisational development practitioners, consultants and managers
interested in a systemic, human-centred approach to leadership.
For readers seeking a reflective perspective on leadership, personal maturity and the creation of meaning at work and in life, Leadership
as Meaning-Making offers a framework for exploring how inner development and purposeful action are connected.
