In Search of Harmony in a Disharmonious World; Leadership Manual for Change Agents and Dreamers

Velimir Srića

Each one of us is, in a sense, a leader in this world, and the author encourages us to adopt a model of harmony-based leadership as the solution. He shows some of the soft yet effective techniques true leaders use in creating a team that moves together toward a goal. In easily-digested "lessons" Prof. Srica gives fifty-two examples explaining in detail how each of us can develop internal harmony, and how to build and develop harmonious teams and organizations.

By integrating knowledge, skills and values of harmonious leadership, the model provides a fresh look at the leadership challenge, encouraging people to grow themselves and everybody with whom they connect through behaviors which radiate positivism and create harmony. The model is based on author's leadership experience, and on a variety of practices and cases he has witnessed as a politician and consultant. The model is genuinely multicultural and draws from the views from Far and Middle East, mixes them with Zen wisdom and integrates them with Western management trends, as well as with troublesome experiences from the transitional Central and Eastern Europe.
