Building on the success of Reboot and the concept of radical self-inquiry, executive coach Jerry Colonna encourages leaders to consider the ways they have been complicit in, and benefitted from, the conditions in the world they say they\'d like to change and shows them the path to creating new systems of inclusion for everyone.
It\'s wise insights and practical advice will help create an inclusive and welcoming workspace, discover the best of who we are, and nurture and support those whom we are privileged to lead..
With its unusual blend of poetry, quotes, and examples from Colonna\'s own life as well as the lives of his clients-- Reunion is a life-altering guide for today\'s complex and divisive world.
Doing so will cause a reckoning with the accepted definitions of leadership, success, and value.
Doing so, we are then able to reimagine businesses as collectives where a shared sense of beLonging thrives.
The vital second step is to see and alter the effects of one\'s untended, unhealed wounds and beliefs on those we are tasked to lead.
He shows how to apply radical self-inquiry (How have I been complicit in creating the conditions I say I don\'t want?) and broaden it to include How have I been complicit in maintaining systems of oppression that I say I don\'t want? And, more important, What do I need to give up that I love in order to have the systems of beLonging that I want? The necessary first step is for leaders and others who hold power to see themselves clearly.
Colonna guides us on a journey of reunification with the disowned parts of ourselves, the myths and truths of our ancestors, as well as a deeper connection with those most affected by systems of exclusion.
But this toxicity can be overcome.
Many people in power fall into the trap of toxic leadership.
Colonna argues that only through radical self-inquiry can we come home to ourselves and others and, in doing so, create systemic belonging--homes--for everyone.
But to do so, we must first face our own need for beLonging and how that need is often thwarted.
For executives and managers, to be better leaders--and people--we must create welcoming environments in which ourselves and others feel recognized and have a place.
We all want to belong.
