Leaders are not immune from their societal context including their pursuit of meaning, belonging, and contribution. Presently, leaders talk about wanting to quit, not knowing what to do, experiencing feelings of burnout and being tired of it all. People desire to feel connected and rooted, filled with imagination, mystery, and awe. This book is an invitation for leaders who long for inspiration and a renewed sense of possibility and creativity. Leaders are invited to discover within themselves sources of creativity and inspiration using the lens of philosophy, the humanities, the arts, and ecology. Leaders will develop strategies through reflection and practical exercises to tap into creative expression and imagination.

ILA´s Building Leadership Bridges series captures the best contemporary thinking about leadership from a diverse range of scholars, practitioners and educators working around the globe.

In keeping with the mission of the ILA the book series builds connections between how people research, imagine and experience leadership across cultures.
