How Frederic Laloux’s ‘Reinventing Organizations’ points the way towards more Conscious Leadership

Post by on

It serves not only as a compelling story, but also alters our paradigm as we read it. That is some effect. There are several clues within it that point to who the leaders of these (Teal) kinds of organisations need to be, which hints at an evolved form of leadership.
