3.0
While I enjoyed this book, and reading of the concepts and ideas of the authors, I was slightly disappointed about the relative lack of actionable counsel compared to what I expected. Nonetheless, there is much worth thinking about and pondering presented here.
The authors discuss their ideas about fusion leadership as follows (borrowed from an Amazon reviewer):
1. Mindfulness: See subtle forces, take position as beginner, maintain open mind, be tentative, set aside opinions, ask questions, create labels and categories, challenge assumptions, welcome opposites, see subtle flows and relationships, see whole and part, and encourage multiple approaches.
2. Vision: Create future, facilitate hopes and dreams, pursue higher purpose that touches the heart, inspire people, focus on values and yearnings, consider dreams concrete and reliable, think big and do the impossible, cherish vision as motivating and energizing, and live by hope and personal experience.
3. Heart: Stay emotionally connected with people and work, base choices on finding bliss, look for hidden potentials, seek out people who express emotions, hold that emotions are truth, be collaborative and interdependent, and pay attention to ideas and people with emotional power.
4. Communication: Listen, discern other's needs, focus on big picture, frame of reference and meanings, transmit symbolic images and stories, cultivate face-to-face contract, celbrate completed task, direct message to heart, and ask questions.
5. Courage: Assert nonconformity, follow higher purpose, seek to serve, act as iron, feel fear and admit failure, support failure as way to grow and learn, name demons and speak truth, disagree and say no, act on faith and trust, and accept support from others.
6. Integrity: Inspire trust, share information, power and resources, seek interdependence, meet unstated needs, serve others, affirm, build and mentor others, acknowledge other's great deeds, empower others and faith in others, set high moral standards, and deepen insight into self.
