Book excerpt: Transformational Leadership is a soulful practice, a practical job, and everything in between. You are breathing new life into an organization, and that energy comes from the spirit of the people. Transformations are usually designed to improve business results, but what's the point if it doesn't make our lives better? Why should you read this book? The nature of transformation is that it's about uncharted territory, and that means that the answers are unknown. This book will offer you tools to get oriented, identify patterns, and work through the challenges without feeling lost and overwhelmed. If you've ever felt like you could help but no one was listening, or people were resistant to your help, this book will help you stay grounded and supported in your work. When it starts to feel like it's you against the world, this book and this community are here for solace and support. This book will be your partner while you dance between the soulful and practical.
