Summary
The Power of Belonging addresses the challenges faced by leaders today, both when influencing and achieving organizational goals. This is also a book for individuals too, because we cannot define ourselves by single dimensions--we are a synthesis of our backgrounds, experiences and philosophies. Thus, the most challenging lesson to learn is that belonging will remain a puzzle until we find that it has a unique dwelling place--that we must first profoundly belong to ourselves. So are you ready to be a change agent? Great then this book is for you!
