Bestselling author and spiritual guide Deepak Chopra invites you to becomeΒ theΒ kindΒ ofΒ leader most needed today: a leader with vision who can make that vision real. Chopra has been teachingΒ leadershipΒ to CEOs and other top executives forΒ eightΒ years, andΒ theΒ path outlined in TheΒ SoulΒ ofΒ Leadership applies to any business, butΒ theΒ same principles are relevant in every community and areaΒ ofΒ life, from family and home to school, placeΒ ofΒ worship, and neighborhood. βAtΒ the deepest level,β Chopra writes, βa leader isΒ theΒ symbolicΒ soul ofΒ a group.β

With clear, practical steps, you are led throughΒ theΒ crucial skills outlined inΒ theΒ acronym L-E-A-D-E-R-S:
L = Look and Listen
E = Emotional Bonding
A = Awareness
D = Doing
E = Empowerment
R = Responsibility
S = Synchronicity
After identifying your ownΒ soulΒ profile andΒ theΒ core values you want to develop, you can useΒ these seven skills to allow your potential for greatness to emerge. Only fromΒ theΒ levelΒ ofΒ theΒ soul, Chopra contends, are great leaders created. Once that connection is made, you have unlimited access toΒ theΒ most vital qualities a leader can possess: creativity, intelligence, organizing power, and love.
