Why a book on personal leadership in the distributed economy?

Digital Transformation is not a one-time event, but a continuous journey while learning more about the relationship between technology, human behavior and customer and organizational relevance.

In this world leadership arises not by formal appointment, but is earned through a powerful core mission, creative imagination and intuition, inspiration through direct experience, taking a stance, doing things without asking permission and being a role modelfor vital impact. MaRi Eagar

Paying attention to personal leadership, although seen as a radical idea, has been at the heart of leadership training for centuries in all cultures.

Throughout the ages the phase nosce teipsum, know thyself, appears over and over in the writing of Ovic, Cicero and Socrates. One scholar said it was part of Shakespeare's "regular moral and religious diet". Top athletes apply the principles and combine it with their natural talents and technical skills to be positive role models for people of all ages.

Knowing yourself is only part of the process - without putting it to practice by applying technologies of self: particular methods, techniques, tools and practices to develop yourself to your highest potential, you become an expert in Googling Inside Yourself with analysis and self-understanding, yet little visible impact that others can see and experience.

"Personal Leadership is the powerful science of inner mastery that all great leaders throughout history have pursued." - Institute for Personal Leadership

This book is a companion guide that you can use as a private, personal learning path, or during interactive "lunch and learn" style meetings that could take place in sprints over a period of six months.

Diverse examples and ideas are incorporated from edge-walkers who have demonstrated new models of leadership, cultural revolution and and organizational development. You will probably not agree with everything that is written down and some of the authors and or references might not resonate with you at all.

However, I passionately believe, based on personal experience and that of other successful people that, through openness to exposure to unique types of diversity you will encounter in research captured in the program, engagement with their ideas will help to build your curiosity and sense of adventure. It is meant to inspire you to continue to evolve new models of leadership and keep the journey fresh. After all, one quality that everyone in the crypto and blockchain generation is proud of, and that is that they Know the Way of the Rebel.
