Shakti Leadership
The Book – Shakti Leadership

Too many people, men and women alike, have bought into a notion of leadership that exclusively emphasizes traditionally “masculine” qualities: hierarchical, militaristic, win-at-all-costs. The result has been corruption, environmental degradation, social breakdown, stress, depression, and a host of other serious problems. Nilima Bhat and Raj Sisodia show us a more balanced way, an archetype of leadership that is generative, cooperative, creative, inclusive, and empathetic. While these are traditionally regarded as “feminine” qualities, we all have them. In the Indian yogic tradition they’re symbolized by Shakti, the source that powers all life. Through exercises and inspirational examples, Bhat and Sisodia show how to access this infinite energy and lead with your whole self. Male or female, leaders who understand and practice Shakti Leadership act from a consciousness of life-giving caring, creativity, and sustainability to achieve self-mastery internally and be of selfless service to the world.

Editorial Reviews

Nilima Bhat is one of the most meaningful leaders of our times, a unique personality with capacity to inspire real change!

Claudia Gimenez, Business Leader & Mentor

Recomendo fortemente este curso, pois o conteúdo é riquíssimo e apresentado de forma excelente. Ele é dividido em vários módulos fáceis de entender, com vídeos curtos, áudios e posts. Há uma vasta quantidade de material de apoio referenciado, permitindo que mergulhemos ainda mais fundo em cada tópico. As tarefas instigantes ajudam a internalizar e praticar os conceitos e técnicas apresentados ao longo do curso.

Levei 20 horas para concluir. Sei que eles recomendam fazer o curso em um círculo de estudos com um grupo de 5 a 8 pessoas, para que todos possam acompanhar o ritmo e finalizar em 12-13 semanas (uma seção por semana). Concordo que pode ser uma ótima ideia, mas você também pode fazer sozinho, especialmente se estiver motivado(a) a obter o certificado de conclusão e se tornar um Líder Shakti. O que me surpreendeu, e por que recomendo muito este curso, é a profundidade e a abrangência do conteúdo, cuidadosamente curado e disponibilizado de forma generosa. Isso nos permite mergulhar tão fundo quanto quisermos, alcançando um nível de maestria sobre o tema. Pelo preço, o curso oferece muito mais do que o esperado. Talvez isso aconteça porque eles realmente querem que o curso seja amplamente acessível e econômico em vários países, ajudando a alcançar a Missão Shakti de formar uma comunidade global de 100.000 agentes de mudança até 2030.

As global populations age, Bhat and Sisodia suggest that the world is reaching a point of major transformation. Simultaneously, women are gaining in numbers in white-collar professions, headed toward becoming the majority in the near future. This escalating shift in evolution is rattling the foundations of one-sided patriarchical leadership, moving us toward a crisis point. These authors believe that in order not to implode, both men and women must begin to embrace a leadership style which utilizes competency-based (masculine) and consciousness-based (feminine) leadership skills in equal balance. Laced with insights from successful women (and men), it also has suggested exercises, such as Dialogue with the Higher Self, to help readers access the transformative power of Shakti within themselves. Commonsense and cutting-edge perspective make this one a sure-fire winner. Consider displaying it with Joseph Campbell’s The Hero With a Thousand Faces.

Anna Jedrziewski, Retailing Insight

In today’s 24/7 wired world, we are more connected with technology than with other humans or our own inner self. Shakti Leadership is first about deeply understanding who we really are and why we exist and then about using that knowledge to meaningfully connect with others to cocreate a better future. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to really wake up.

Rajeev Peshawaria, CEO, The Iclif Leadership and Governance Centre, and author of Too Many Bosses, Too Few Leaders and Be the Change

Shakti Leadership is a bold reimagination of leadership that is both conceptually robust and immediately usable at the same time. A must-read for all those seeking to deeply understand the inner drives that make them the leaders they are and striving to create diverse cultures where each person can flourish.

Shubhro Sen, Director, School of Management and Entrepreneurship, Shiv Nadar University

A powerful leadership model that leverages and unites our masculine and feminine energies.

Richard Barrett, Founder and Chairman, Barrett Values Centre

This book is of vital importance! The rise of feminine power fully integrated with the healthy masculine is paramount to the development of the planet, organizations, and ourselves. Nilima and Raj’s outstanding work shows us, through their wisdom and clear writing, how we as leaders can harness this potential.

Kristin Engvig, Founder and CEO, WIN

I’m grateful to Nilima Bhat and Raj Sisodia for this insightful and timely book. Reclaiming the lost balance between masculine and feminine leadership styles is a very important part of the larger project of making the world of business more ethical—and thus more effective at creating sustainable value. It is wonderful to see the wisdom of the East being so skillfully applied to the challenges faced by modern organizations. Shakti Leadership is a significant contribution to the conscious capitalism movement.

Steve McIntosh, Author of Integral Consciousness and the Future of Evolution and President, Institute for Cultural Evolution

Nilima and Raj have cocreated a book that is much needed. When we awaken to our true nature, synergize the masculine and feminine within ourselves, and discover the essence of our Shakti, we become infinitely compassionate and courageous to take responsibility for the way we live now. Leaders in business, government, education, and the social sectors will find the path in this book to come together and make our organizations more conscious, leading to a peaceful, sustainable, and happier world!
