Leading with Aliveness
, Mette Norgaard offers a physiological and philosophical reframing of leadership amid continuous crisis and burnout—a way to reclaim steadiness and humanity in the face of unrelenting change.
This transformation unfolds through five elemental forces: the powers of the pause, perspective, practice, the pride, and play. When leading with aliveness, you open to the life force—your source of vitality—then shape your perspective and point the way. You awaken the team's capacity for optimal performance and serious play.
Grounded in practice and avoiding management jargon, Norgaard weaves together insights from neuroscience, martial arts, and quantum mechanics—to establish leadership as embodied presence.
