Woke Leadership: Profits, Prophets & Purpose

ABOUT THIS BOOK: Woke leaders are the stewards of an ‘all in’ equity economy; they are the sentinels for change. They live at the nexus of consciousness and compassion; and, in this book—Woke Leadership: Profits, Prophets & Purpose—I describe the experiences that create these leadership traits and I profile “woke” leaders and followers in action. Woke leadership is a continuum of noticing, appreciating, internalizing, and acting. They lead with purpose and compassion. This is not a how-to book, but a guide to the most effective, inspiring leadership I have had the privilege of witnessing in my 30+ years coaching and consulting in the C-suite. ADVANCED PRAISE: “Noted leadership guru Priscilla Douglas combines written snapshots of business leaders she has known along with her own autobiographical insights to approach – iteratively – a rich description of what is involved in being a “woke” leader. Joshua Boger, Ph.D., Founder and CEO (former) Vertex Pharmaceuticals. “In a time of profound change in which talent can increasingly work from anywhere and seek opportunities that maximize their impact, Priscilla lays out a compelling argument for re-imagining our notions of what an effective leader looks like in the 2020s.” Breanna Zwart, President San Francisco Commission on the Status of Women “Through her own experiences and stories about leaders she admires, Priscilla Douglas provides helpful practical guidance on how to stay alert to opportunities, move quickly, and value people – all in the service of diversity, innovation, and a better post-Covid world.” Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Harvard Business School Professor and author of Think Outside the Building: How Advanced Leaders Can Change the World One Smart Innovation at a Time. “A new era of leadership is on the horizon. Priscilla Douglas, a renowned C-suite coach, explains how “Woke leaders alchemize empathy and imagination to create purpose.” This is a must read for leaders willing to step into enlightenment.
