Publisher's Synopsis
The Essential Leadership Model is a revisioning of leadership, systems, narrative, dependence, and independence for leading in the Related-world. The Related-world approach transcends the Indigenous single-world, the Western single-world, and other Two-world models. It recognizes that all these systems have benefits and faults. Related-world leaders recognize paradoxes in their own system and the other systems at their periphery. They are willing to change or reinvent their approach based on new knowledge from other systems and leaders. ELM provides leaders with a framework to better understand and tell their leadership story. ELM provides the Essential knowledge to enhance their skills, create a network of others (Seedsters) that are similarly looking to be better innovators and catalysts for the change that is necessary. ELM pulls leadership understanding from many sources; the Indigenous Medicine Wheel, the PDCA cycle in business, the Adaptive Cycle of environmental systems, to create a new way forward using the growth cycle of the Elm tree.ELM is for those that travel through the world as leaders but are ready to grow to a new level. A level of growth they know is there, but they cannot identify just where 'there' is or how to get 'there' whatever 'there' is for them. This book introduces a leadership model to get leaders to 'there'.
