Leading in Chaos by Nicholas Janni

Leading in Chaos by Nicholas Janni

Nicholas Janni’s first ground-breaking book Leader as Healer won the overall Business Book Award in 2023. In this transformational book, Janni presented a new and necessary paradigm of leadership. He argued that leaders of today must also be empathic and therefore embodied; grounded and therefore intuitive; present and therefore awake, to face the scope and threats of 21^st-century challenges.

Increasingly today we find ourselves surrounded by chaos, turbulence and existential threats. We are at a destiny-shaped moment for humanity that calls for a next level of consciousness, courage and compassion from business leaders, who have a chance to contribute to the common good. Leading in Chaos follows on the main themes of Janni’s first book, and encourages the leaders of today to take one step further on the journey of self-discovery and self-mastery. Today’s fast-changing, uncertain times call for leaders to develop new capacities of consciousness and to view leadership as a sacred vocation – to become a blessing in the world through presence, coherence and deep human connection.
