As you read and study, you will discover a ‘fixing of the soul’ that is deeper than a solving of a problem. You will find that the principles and patterns in this book are ancient and yet deeply relevant; they are at times spiritual, but they are always practical – above all, they work! This really works!
Jack Hollis, President, Toyota USA

There is a crisis of leadership in our world. Many believe that prioritizing people and focusing on a healthy culture is a distraction from their core objectives, not understanding that people are the potent power to reach any goal they have. When leaders don’t lead well, everyone in their sphere suffers the consequences (including, or especially, themselves). Teams who could be collaborating toward their greatest achievements are burning out. Individuals who could be living into their fullest selves are putting on masks and an array of defences to navigate the shrapnel of their vocational lives.

Description

There is a crisis of leadership in our world. Many believe that prioritizing people and focusing on a healthy culture is a distraction from their core objectives, not understanding that people are the potent power to reach any goal they have. When leaders don’t lead well, everyone in their sphere suffers the consequences (including, or especially, themselves). Teams who could be collaborating toward their greatest achievements are burning out. Individuals who could be living into their fullest selves are putting on masks and an array of defences to navigate the shrapnel of their vocational lives.

To introduce a new kind of leadership – leading from one’s soul – Karl Martin welcomes us into four spaces to guide our daily rhythms: The Cave, The Road, The Table, and The Fire. Each space will advance the project – and the project is you. ‘The project is leading yourself, so you can lead others,’ writes Martin. ‘And then groups of others, who lead others. It requires a digging, will be challenging in every good way and then worth every effort you make. This is, after all, about leadership, the greatest skill you could ever develop.’

While practical and focused on the daily exercise, Martin keeps the idea of legacy in the forefront: becoming a leader who not only succeeds within their current context, but might even be the kind of leader who ‘fixes the character of their times,’ as it is said of William Wilberforce. Karl’s stories and punchy tone amuse while shooting straight to the heart of the matter, incisively naming the truths we all need to hear if we are to live in a way that is truly life-giving, for ourselves and others.

“Karl is a wholehearted, bold and brilliant leader; his business bleeds this stuff and so does the book. This book is like the author: different. What it’s trying to do is to invite you into a True, Brave, Kind and Curious leadership revolution; one designed to reframe the very nature of leadership and promising to bring about the kind of change that is desperately needed in our chaotic culture.

As you read and study, you will discover a ‘fixing of the soul’ that is deeper than a solving of a problem.

This really works!”

Jack HollisPresident of Toyota USA, EVP of Toyota North America

“Significant and effective leadership flows from character, and character growth requires the nourishing of our souls. Karl has carefully and clearly explored four ways in which our leadership can be deeply rooted in this approach. This is book that I wish had been read by every leader before they stepped up to the task. It could not be more relevant to our time.”

Pete WynterDirector, Leadership College London

“This wonderful book burns with wisdom and warmth because its author, Karl Martin, combines one of the sharpest minds with one of the softest hearts of anyone I know. His hard-won insights have been distilled and field-tested again and again in diverse contexts, over many years. In a world awash with trendy techniques to help people becomes better leaders, this is a message to help leaders become better people. Which is really all that matters in the end. ”
