Leadership Legacy (eBook, ePUB)

A Manifesto to Create a Mindful Future and A Thriving Planet

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

An essential new vision for leaders of all stripes seeking to navigate their responsibility to the planet and their fellow global citizens.

In Leadership Legacy, renowned futurist, activist, and speaker, Adah Parris, delivers an eye-opening exploration of how digital technology interacts with our elemental connections to the world. The author discusses themes of natural connection-ether, air, fire, water, earth-and how they contribute to a "digital symbiosis" that shapes our present and our future.

Each chapter is an invitation to explore either an essay, letter, reflection on interviews or a personal journal-style self-reflective thought-piece sharing how the natural elements shape our digital presence and influence future innovations. Inside, you'll find advocacy for a mindful approach to navigating the complexity of power dynamics and paradoxes linked to technology and innovation that respects our individual and shared heritages and nurtures a regenerative future.

Inside the book:

• An introduction to "Cyborg Shamanism" a philosophy embracing the fusion of technology and nature
• Insightful discussions and perspectives of the contributions being made by people bringing traditional and Indigenous perspectives to creative, technological, innovative economic and environmental conversations
• An original approach to the human relationship with the planet-one that focuses on its interconnected, interdependent, and symbiotic nature

Leadership Legacy will spark a valuable new dialogue on legacy and technology's power to uplift marginalised voices and create authentic connections.
