Beschreibung

In The Soil of Leadership, Dr. Britt Yamamoto presents a unique and memorable perspective on leadership that challenges conventional wisdom for guiding others. Drawing from his extensive global leadership experience--working closely with leaders and organizations from all over Africa, Latin America, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and North America--Dr. Yamamoto introduces a timely framework that places paramount importance on holistic wellbeing and a profound understanding of the intricate systems critical for effective and sustainable leadership. Inviting us to "dig where we stand," The Soil of Leadership seamlessly weaves evocative metaphors and captivating narratives from Dr. Yamamoto's life as both a sustainable farmer and organizational leader. Through these vivid examples, he illuminates the profound notion that genuine leadership doesn't solely emerge from visible accomplishments; rather, it thrives within the hidden roots that allow our true potential to flourish. The Soil of Leadership serves as a compelling call to action, encouraging us to reevaluate our connections, not only with ourselves, but also with others. It inspires a transformative shift in our perception of time and space, fostering continuous reflection on our assumptions, perspectives, and purposes. This journey guides us toward a leadership ethos that unifies rather than divides, marking a significant milestone on the path to a brighter and more interconnected future.
