ZENgagement & Conversational Leadership

Leadership is a way of life and a conversation.

The great question about leadership, about taking real steps on the pilgrim’s path, is the great question of any individual life: how to make everything more personal. How to understand life or leadership not as an abstract path involving devious strategies but more like an inhabitation, a way of life, a conversation, a captaincy; an expression of individual nature and gifts and a familiarity with the specific nature of your own desires and fears. In a conversation there is always more than one voice, and one of the voices must be our own or it is no conversation at at all (p55-56).~ David Whyte, Crossing the Unknown Sea.
