More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
History is filled with accounts of great leaders, but how did they become so? Written for emergent leaders in any endeavor, this new work from renowned consultant Richard Strozzi-Heckler offers a new approach to leadership. The first book of its kind to base business and management strength on integral body awareness, the book presents key principles such as shugyo, or self-cultivation, as crucial in developing the individual responsibility, social commitment, and moral and spiritual vision required to lead with authority and efficacy. The Leadership Dojo is based on three questions: What does a leader do? What are the character values most essential to exemplary leadership? How do you teach these values? Drawing on the wisdom of ages from Plato to the Bhagavad-Gita, from Thucydides to the Abidharma, the book asserts that understanding and answering these questions holds the key to superior leadership skills. Strozzi-Heckler teaches with real-world examples based on his wide experience training decision-makers at companies like AT&T and Microsoft. The book’s multifaceted approach helps readers establish a powerful Leadership Presence, a platform from which they can take ethical action with compassion and pragmatic wisdom.

Profound and Practical!
17 Sep 2007
Format:Hardcover
Profound and practical don't often go together and with this book Richard Strozzi-Heckler has managed to accomplish this rare feat. This book is one of the best treatments I've read on a topic as old as humankind. With humor, storytelling and a grasp of leadership that is truly masterful the author "leads" the reader on a journey exploring both what it means and what it takes to be an exceptional leader. It's a journey that culminates in viewing "leader" and "leadership" in a way that shatters stereotypes and makes the art of leadership accessible to any that are required to be leaders in their lives. Highly recommended!

Not just another book about leadership
5 Sep 2007
Format:Hardcover
There are a lot of books that go on ad nauseam about how one needs to be in order to be a great leader. Strozzi-Heckler gives us a pathway to become one. It takes more than reading a good book, it takes practice that engages the whole self - mental, physical, emotional and spiritual. I appreciate the graduation of practical exercises that help me get a felt sense of what he is talking about. This should be required reading for all aspiring leaders.

The Leadership Dojo
1 Dec 2007
Format:Hardcover
I easily read 50+ leadership books a year and this one is truly amazing. Richard Strozzi-Heckler offers noteworthy distinctions that are very accessible and practical. I endorse his belief that leadership is more than what one knows -- it is who one is and how one chooses to show up in the world. This is a must read! I enthusiastically endorse this book and am encourage my friends to read it and apply what they learn on a daily basis.
