9781626564565 English 1626564566 A Multidimensional Approach to Leadership Top-down, one-dimensional leadership models are hopelessly outmoded in today's rapidly changing world, and they waste the leadership ability that is present throughout an organization. In this visionary book, Karen and Henry Kimsey-House provide a model that harnesses the possibility of many rather than relying on the power of one. Their revolutionary five-dimensional approach recognizes that leadership has to be fluid and flexible and that the roles leaders and followers play must shift to suit the situation. Co-Active Leadership invites all of us to share our expertise and allows collaborative solutions to emerge that would never have been possible otherwise., Best-selling authors Karen and Henry Kimsey-House (Co-Active Coaching, 170,000 sold) bring the wildly successful co-active model to the theory and practice of leadership.Over and over, Karen and Henry Kimsey-House's clients told them that they found traditional, top-down models of leadership to be divisive and isolating, that they would welcome a more inclusive, holistic approach. So this book begins with a new and expanded definition of leadership: "Leaders are those who are responsible for their world." Co-Active means "being in action...together."

"Co-Active Leader Within" is the foundation-you must live with full self-authority, modeling acceptance and integrity "Co-Active Leader from the Front" means pointing the way and inviting and inspiring, not compelling, others to follow. "Co-Active Leader from Behind" means serving others, supporting them and growing their leadership capacity. "Co-Active leader from Beside" means fully partnering with other members of your team, without egos or agendas, a dance in which both partners lead. And finally, "Co-active Leader from the Field" means slowing down long enough to capture the insights and wisdom available beyond our rational mind. Co-Active Leadership is the only model to celebrate and honor these different expressions of leadership. It allows collaborative solutions to emerge that would never have been possible otherwise., Over and over, Karen and Henry Kimsey-House s clients told them that they found traditional, top-down models of leadership to be divisive and isolating, that they would welcome a more inclusive, holistic approach.

Co-Active Leadership is a deeply collaborative approach but the first of its five dimensions focuses on the individual: leading from within. We must be fully present and live lives of integrity, openheartedness, and self-awareness if we are to make the kind of conscious, creative choices Co-Active Leadership demands. Each of the remaining four dimensions work together holistically.
