Two Wings of Leadership

"This is a timely and transformative exploration of conscious leadership. With clarity and depth, the authors show how balancing traditionally “masculine” strengths like strategy and assertiveness with “feminine” qualities such as empathy, collaboration, and intuition creates a more authentic and sustainable leadership model. Drawing from global experience and real-world examples, this book serves as both a guide and a call to action for leaders ready to move beyond outdated paradigms. Inspiring, practical, and visionary—a must-read for modern changemakers."

"The anecdotes in this thought-provoking book on the equality of men and women are authentic and eye-opening. The author starts by recounting an experience of being one of four males in a women's studies course filled with 300 females. Prominent businesses and heads of state and their leadership models are showcased. The thread woven throughout the book is an idea of gender equality inspired by the Baha'i Faith where a bird with two wings, one male and one female, can soar higher with strengths, characteristics, and perspectives of both genders valued and balanced. Like the bird with two balanced wings, an organization where leadership is balanced with male and female energy-- the organization can reach its highest heights of success. Learn about the history of gender equality, the role of emotional intelligence in leadership, assessing virtues, and much more. I appreciate the long list of virtues and how they are defined or seen through their opposites. There are reflections and activities dispersed throughout to promote avenues of critical thinking. This is so timely and needed for today!"
