Summary:

The purpose of this book is to make a contribution in the leadership practices domain. Although there are many books covering leadership content (the What of leadership) there is a shortage of material that guides leaders to entrain, experiment and explore options for the How-to of refining their natural leadership style and strengths. The core of this book centres around 101 reflective rituals that guide leaders to expand their competence repertoire in the three clusters: Cognitive and Knowledge competency cluster Social and Attitude competency cluster Personal and Emotional competency cluster Each of these clusters is linked to universal virtue themes in the areas of: Wisdom and knowledge Humanity Justice Courage Temperance, and Transcendence The reflective exercises are grouped into competency clusters and universal virtue themes as described above. This enables users to focus on those aspects that they want to improve or about which they are curious. Prof Marius Ungerer is currently an Associate Professor at the University of Stellenbosch Business School (USB), where he teaches strategic management, leadership and change management. Johan Herholdt is an experienced business book author with more than 10 titles to his name. He consults in the areas of systems thinking, and transformative change management. Dr Jannie Le Roux is a spiritual leader for a congregation in Gordon s Bay. He is also a public speaker focfocusing on motivation and leadership. He has published a variety of spiritually- and business-related books."
