In a time when planet Earth and its humans are challenged like never before, citizens in many countries feel powerless and frustrated. Politicians, companies, and consumers are not doing enough to mitigate climate change, reduce work-related stress, reduce meaningless work, and stop overproduction. What many organisations fail to realise is that this also leads to employee dissatisfaction, illness, and a demand for new leadership.

This book is about conscious leadership, about changing the culture in organisations to capture modern life design and incorporate an energetic sense of the future. It is about adopting new habits in leadership to embrace the idea that we are human spirits made up of energy. It is about trusting our intuition and resourcefully focusing on creating and aligning energy in every part of the organisation rather than exhausting all present resources at all times.

Thousands of years ago, humans used time differently. They took the time to feel, to listen, to see, and to believe in what was the best thing to do. They communicated inwards, outwards, downwards, and upwards. They understood their energy intuitively and lived accordingly.

In modern times, amid development and industrialisation, we have forgotten some of the most fundamental human talents. We rationalise and believe so strongly in data and physical evidence that we ignore our bodies' warnings. We do that as individuals, leaders, and collectively as organisations and society.

The key to our potential is understanding that everything, including humans, is energy. We are connected to our souls, each other, and our past and future through energy frequencies. It is how nature works - how we work. Our ancestors knew it. But at one point in history, we took the wrong road, resulting in a significant part of us feeling disconnected, alone, or without purpose.

For companies, the consequence is seen in the so-called 'quiet quitting' and 'great resignation' phenomena, which stem from an underlying dissatisfaction with workplace culture, jobs' misalignment with individual life purpose and desired lifestyle, and often also the companies' failure to contribute to solving important problems rather than simply aiming for regulatory compliance. The future workplace succeeds because it orchestrates the energy of both the company and each individual. We must relearn what we once knew and practice new leadership that is sustainable both in the external world and our inner worlds.

ENERGETIC LEADERSHIP addresses 9 pivotal trends that organisations and leaders must navigate in a world where employees demand more spiritual leadership and sustainable business models aligned with their individual life design and life purposes.

The newer generations already show the way with a much more intuitive approach. They are not asking permission to redefine what it means to be employed but design their lives in alignment with their life purpose first, then create a work life that matches. Everyone is a leader, and leadership starts from within.
