The Earthist Challenge to Economism

"You might already be familiar with The Five Practices from our book, The Leadership Challenge, which describes this research in detail. Or you might know The Five Practices because you have used our 360-degree assessment instrument, Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) to further your development as a leader. In case the practices are new to you, we provide a brief overview in Chapter 2 of this workbook. Whether you are familiar with our other work or not, we ask you to keep this in mind: When you engage in The Five Practices more frequently than you do at present, you will be more effective. We know from our research that those who Model, Inspire, Challenge, Enable, and Encourage more frequently are more likely to get extraordinary things done than those who do so less frequently. Exemplary leadership, in other words, is not an accident of birth or circumstance. It’s a result of conscious and conscientious practice.
