Two Wings of Leadership
"The world of humanity has two wings—one is women and the other men. Not until both wings are equally developed can the bird fly."— ‘Abdu’l-Bahá
A Message from the Foreword
“This book is a guide to partnership—in organizations, in relationships, and within ourselves.” It invites us to lead not with one wing but with two.
Augusto Lopez Claros
Executive Director, Global Governance Forum
About the Book
In today’s complex world, traditional leadership models are no longer enough. Two Wings of Leadership calls for a profound transformation: the integration of feminine and masculine strengths to unlock our full leadership potential. Like a bird needs two strong wings to fly, organizations and individuals thrive when empathy, collaboration, and intuition are balanced with clarity, courage, and direction. This is not about gender—it’s about HUMAN WHOLENESS. Two Wings of Leadership explores the essential harmony between the "wing" of practical skills and the "wing" of spiritual qualities.
You’ll learn why integrated leadership is a vital foundation for resilience, innovation, and justice in the 21st century.
Through compelling real-life stories from the authors personal and professional experiences.
The book builds a clear framework for balancing masculine and feminine leadership qualities.
It offers practical, actionable strategies to cultivate this balance within yourself and foster it throughout your organization.
