Leadership And The Nature Of Human Nature

Issue 38

In this issue of Developing Leaders Quarterly we are tackling organisational issues that are very ancient and very modern. From the human nature that directs how we react and respond to good leadership, that has changed little over the millenia to the new structures and models of work that are emerging as we leave the worst restrictions of the pandemic behind us. We also explore how stress affects our productivity, what indigenous peoples can teach us about collective organisations and thinking, how to get creative and returning to a more conscious form of leadership. Lots of new approaches based on ancient patterns.
