Leadership is a tricky task. No amount of technical excellence makes a good leader. The Arbinger Institute, a leadership research group, suggests that a heart at peace internally is the most important component for individuals to lead effectively. They contend this assertion applies to almost every realm of leadership, from parenting and organizations to world politics. And they show exactly how in this leadership fable.
This story tells about a group that resolves family conflicts at a counseling center named Mount Moriah. The center deals with troublesome teens while the parents learn how to deal with their own leadership issues. The parents improve primarily through being confronted with themselves – their attitudes and dispositions, their “ways of being.”
A Palestinian Muslim and an Israeli Jew guide the group. They talk about how their own life stories have reconciled themselves to each other despite prevailing war among their peoples. They have not solved Mideast peace, sadly, but they have brought their hearts to a greater position of peace. They seek to convey the lessons learned to these parents. The impact involves not only their families but every element of the adults’ lives.
This book is a prequel to another bestselling book by the Arbinger Institute, Leadership and Self-Deception. Its principles are similar about being in and out of “the Box,” but this work better extrapolates what their views of leadership incorporate across the whole of life. The conflict-resolution lessons taught here do apply to business, but it reaches and engages much more. Thus, by using Martin Buber as a sage, the book explores more philosophy than just organizational leadership.
Conflict resolution is central to leadership’s task wherever it is exercised. After a certain age, most of us have a leader’s role in life whether we like it or not. Therefore, this book’s appeal is fairly universal. Even when we live a solitary life, we usually must become involved in local, national, or world events that themselves ineluctably involve conflict. So we have to learn to do the hard work ourselves. This successful book lights a healthy way to start remedying conflict.
