beyond leadership toward liberating the creative soul

Edición de la obra Genership 1.0

"This groundbreaking book by David Castro, President and CEO of the Institute for Leadership Education, promises t transform thinking within organizations and communities about the fundamental skills required for human progress. David - the recipient of Kellogg, Eishenhower and Ashoka Fellowships - explores the evolution of leadership skills within effective organizations, recognizing that leadership processes have been evolving into difference and more promising practices. To capture this trend, David introduces a new concept and a new word, genership, which describes the skill set required for the practice of creativity in groups. Distinguishing genership from its ancestor practices, David unmasks a series of highly dysfunctional fallacies underlying the more traditional concept of leadership. These include the Messiah Fallacy, the Hero Fallacy and the Fallacy of Leadership Nostalgia, a false triumvirate severely suppressing human creativity. David posits that human progress will ultimately require organizations to transcend leadership in favor of genership as a core practice within creative communities. With vivid and relevant examples, he surveys the fundamental capacities underlying genership, contrasting them with traditional leadership processes. Genership provides a practical guide to transcending outdated ways associated with leadership cultures while embracing the emergent and more effective practices described in genership"--Page four of book cover
