Book Description: Do you have the techniques and the mindset you need to take the lead? How do you keep your team aligned, engaged, and inspired? Awake Leadership presents a system of seven vitals and exercises for leading with clarity and creativity. While other leadership books detail qualities of excellent leaders, this guide shows how to lead through a progression of specific practices and exercises. Each section of the guidebook contains interactive exercises with examples and tips for putting the seven leadership vitals into action.

Hilary Jane Grosskopf developed the Awake Leadership system and exercises as an emerging, visionary leader in business looking to lead differently. As a team member and rising leader, Hilary found that leaders often lead with too much structure or too much freedom. She realized that modern leaders need practices and exercises that work for both aligning and motivating their team in order to achieve objectives and make progress. As a leader seeking to find a balance between achievement and enjoyment, she developed this practical, creative guidebook to help leaders

 of all ages and backgrounds lead with more ease and enthusiasm.

The seven vitals of Awake Leadership are inspired by the Chakra system, an ancient system of yoga philosophy. Just as the seven chakras are vitals for energetic alignment and life balance, the seven Awake Leadership vitals cover the spectrum of practices for successful leadership in action. It is a system for finding optimal balance as a leader in the dynamic world of business. While half the exercises are team exercises, the other half are individual exercises for strengthening your leadership. Work through the guidebook to find the right balance between providing structure and freedom for yourself and for your team in order to make optimal progress.

Awake Leadership provides aspiring and rising leaders with the foundation they need to start their leadership journey. The guidebook gives current leaders guidance and actions for revitalizing their leadership to better align and motivate a team. Take the lead of your work, your career, your team, and your life. Enjoy the process and the results.
