Liderança Shakti: O equilíbrio do poder feminino e masculino nos negócios

by Nilima Bhat, Rajendra Sisodia, Diana Murh (Translator)

Muitas pessoas, tanto homens como mulheres, compraram uma noção de liderança que enfatiza exclusivamente qualidades "masculinas", hierárquicas e militaristas. O resultado dessa mentalidade pode ser corrupção, degradação ambiental, quebra social, estresse, depressão e uma série de outros sérios problemas. Nilima Bhat e Raj Sisodia, autor de Capitalismo consciente, nos apresentam um modo mais equilibrado, um estilo de liderança que é gerador, cooperativo, criativo, inclusivo e empático. Embora essas qualidades sejam comumente vistas como "femininas", todos nós as temos. Na tradição indiana, elas são simbolizadas por Shakti, a fonte que alimenta toda a vida.

Por meio de exercícios e exemplos inspiradores, Bhat e Sisodia mostram como acessar essa energia infinita e liderar com todo o seu ser. Os líderes que entendem e praticam a liderança Shakti atuam a partir de uma consciência de cuidar da vida, da criatividade e da sustentabilidade para alcançar o autoconhecimento e estar a serviço do mundo.

Somewhat new-agey, but the overall premise of "You can't lead anyone or anything if you don't know what's leading you" is pretty powerful. Organizations need to build systems filled with conscious leaders who are mature and fully human. And you don't do this by slapping together a management training program. It starts with understanding the person you are is the leader you are. Who are you? What do you stand for? Your energy can be limitless if you've found congruence between your ideals while striving for individuation.

Found resonance in many ways

I liked the concept of Shakfti and Shiva energies and many of the leaders' testimonials.

I found particularly interesting the heroic journey chapter.

I'd recommend this book to those that are interested in leadership, and in particular to those, like me, that sense that the old patriarchal leadership model is not the answer to the many conundrums our contemporary relationships among ourselves and with the planet live.

New Age business book, did you know there is such a category? Talking about all-encompassing energy in the universe, flows through us, (midichlorians, the Force) shakti. And somehow that alien energy seems to be limited by human two genders. "Feminine energy" and "masculine energy". Almost like it's been thought up by a limited human mind.

The authors have read too much fantasy and are trying to generate a low imagination Role Playing Game with a magic called "true power". Wheel of Time? But they confuse their imaginary oriental fantasy with real life.

Overuse of the phrases "we need to", "power" and "until now things have been" dit, "now they are going to be" dat. Of course it's all because of the universal ghost power shakti. They really like Campbell's hero's journey.

It is wise to be a humble, caring and serving leader, but this book uses spiritual fantasy mumbo-jumbo to dilute any lessons that might be hidden in there.

I started reading Shakti Leadership as part of a book club focused on gender issues and bringing more of the feminine into the workplace.

It started out beautifully and held my attention... until midway through the book. It was almost as if the parts that I was supposed to have read were done. And the rest of the book was beyond my understanding at that point.

The book was well written and had a number of excellent points. I just don't know that I was ready to hear the lessons of the end of the book.

With the pandemic, bright lights shining on racial and social injustice, fires and floods, and threats to our democracy, I felt compelled to read this book now after 3 years of it sitting on my shelf. Shakti leadership provides an alternative, spiritual model for leadership that is so desperately needed for healing and renewal in what feels like an apocalyptic chapter in our history.

Шакти - энергия, которая приходит из неисчерпаемого источника внутри нас и мы можем подключиться к ней в любое время.
В книге практические советы - как изменить себя, чтобы получить доступ к этой энергии.

Spiritual and Practical

I loved the book for it's clarity in dealing with a complex topic at multiple levels without making it esoteric. It's accessible, heartfelt, and authentic.
