To transform society, we first need to transform ourselves. The
Courage to Lead starts from this premise and delivers a strong,
simple message: if you relate authentically to life, to yourself,
to the world and to society, you start the process of social
change. Grounded in more than fifty years of in-depth research and
practical experience in over thirty nations, The Courage to Lead
uses a large canvas to paint a vivid picture of leadership in its
many forms: personal, family, work, organization, community.
Activist stories from around the world demonstrate the profound
premise and inspires a deep understanding of leadership. This is a
book that changes lives.
These days, the complexity of life tends to leave us paralyzed.
The Courage to Lead will help people move out of their paralysis
and invite them to join the ranks of those social pioneers who
create what is needed for the 21st century. This book speaks to you
in a strange language that you do not at first remember but that
you will eventually recognize as your mother tongue.

The Courage to Lead provided me with a great deal of guidance
and support at a time when I needed to make significant life
decisions. It also provided me with a framework and a language to
better understand who I am, where I needed to be and where I wanted
to go. I recommend this course to anyone who is open to a
transformative experience in which one brings many important life
questions into focus.

325 University Health Network (UHN) staff have participated in
The Courage to Lead study program over the last five years. The
fundamental principles in the book align with our belief that
"everyone can lead from where they stand." We think that leadership
is not about a formal role or job title but about a philosophy,
values and attitude in how one approaches life. This program has
helped staff tap into the leader within themselves and, in doing
so, has supported our mission to deliver excellent patient-centered
care.
