Leading from the Roots Summary

Leading from the Roots: Nature-Inspired Leadership Lessons for Today's World by Dr. Kathleen E. Allen

Can we design organizations in a way that creates a space where employees, the organization, and the larger community all thrive?

And if so, where can we go for inspiration to help us achieve this goal?

In a time of volatile and complex uncertainty, it is time to learn the lessons that nature has compiled from 3.8 billion years of research and development. Nature is an interdependent, dynamic and living system - just like today's organizations and communities. Kathleen Allen uses nature as a model, mentor, and muse to rethink how leadership is practiced today. Leading from the Roots takes nature as a source of inspiration to help organizations see a new way of leading and designing workplace structure, applying the generous framework found in mature ecologies to human organizations.

Kathleen Allen helps shift assumptions, practices, structures, and processes of organizations to become more resilient and nourishing for all, and, along the way, design the way out of workplace dysfunction and drama.

Leading from the Roots provides a powerful new way of thinking about organizations as living systems and delivers practical leadership frameworks for individuals to learn how to unleash the energy and create innovative, effective teams.
-Anne Boneparte, CEO Appthority

This book is a must read for organizational leaders who are not only committed to their mission, but equally to creating a workplace that attracts and retains the brightest and the best professionals fully enabled to meet that mission. -Caryl Stern, President & CEO UNICEF USA

Leading from the Roots Reviews

I wholeheartedly recommend Leading from the Roots: Nature Inspired Leadership Lessons for Today's World. It's valuable to leaders recognizing that the same old, same old no longer works. It's valuable to leaders attempting to rethink why and how they operate. Finally, it's indispensable to leaders inspired by the norms of nature to do something different and better for themselves, their people, and their organizations.

- Alan. L. Chase

Dr. Kathleen E. Allen wrote this book in hopes people will use inspirations found in nature to help businesses design a way out of complex problems. All the while, helping organizations to pursue a healthy understanding of the role that leadership processes play in creating a sustainable and fruitful future.

A compelling, well written and extensively researched guide on how organizations can look to the natural systems for direction on helping us overcome the short sighted and destructive practices that have brought us to the brink of ecological disaster. The book looks at organizations as a living organism that is interconnected to all other systems. As part of an evolving systems, generous organizations look to maximize the people that work within, constantly challenging, experimenting and making use of all the talent that their people have to offer.
