Centered Leadership

In Joanna Barsh and Susie Cranston's new book How Remarkable Women Lead, they break down a new model of leadership based on 5 years of research conducted during their Centered Leadership Project. Joanna sums up their system in five dimensions:

Meaning: Happiness, core strengths, and purpose

Framing: Self-awareness, learned optimism, moving on, adaptability

Connecting: Inclusiveness, reciprocity, network design, and sponsorship

Engaging: Voice, ownership, opportunities, risks, fears

Energizing: Sources and uses, recovery, and flow

If you add these items to their defined preconditions for successful leadership (talent, desire to lead, and tolerance for change), as well as factor in your personal and professional context, you should be left with the outcomes of impact, renewal, and joy.
