Summary

Co-active Leadership reduces the distinction between leaders and followers and expands the meaning of leadership, creating an atmosphere where everyone can develop and exercise a range of leadership skills. Top down, one-dimensional leadership models are hopelessly outmoded in today's rapidly-changing world. And they waste te leadership ability that is present throughout an organization, not just at the top. In this visionary book, Karen and Henry Kimsey-House provide a model that harnesses the possibility of many rather than relying on the power of one. They begin with a new definition of leadership itself: "Leaders are those who are responsible for their world." Which, of course, we all are, or should be so everyone is a leader. Co-active Leadership is a deeply colloaborative approach but the first of its five dimensions focuses on the individual: leading from within. We must be fully present and live lives of integrity, openheartedness, and self-awareness if we are to make the kind of conscious, creative choices Co-Active Leadership demands. Each of the remaining four dimensions work together holistically. Depending on the situation, you may lead from the front, offering guidance and inspiration; from behind, supporting and encouraging others; from beside, partnering with and supporting other members of you team; or from the field, drawing on insights and wisdom available beyond the rational mind. Co-active Leadership is the only model to celebrate and honor these different expressions of leadership. It invites all of us to share our expertise and allows collaborative solutions to imerge that would never have been possible otherwise
