highly recommended

A wonderful little book with big ideas about leading with a conscience . . .

This little book is a bounty of inspiring messages and big ideas. It opens with some critical thinking about the separateness we often experience in an otherwise connected world, and it shows how a powerful desire for oneness is emerging (with some surprising conclusions about the role of technology in this process).

It then gently flows into a practical examination of life's key lessons as it lays out the CASTLE principles for leadership. A few central messages rang true for me: what we do to our customers, our employees, and our investors, we do to ourself; there's more room for myth, mystery, and magic in our life's work; and a key role of leaders is "serving employees" (rather than the conventional thought of employees serving management).

I really appreciate the way strong stories are used to make a point as well as to help support an emotional connection with each message. Lance Secretan employs Courage, one of his CASTLE principles, to explain the role of love in leadership and business. This isn't an easy thing to do, and he makes a solid case and does it well.

This is definitely a book to read twice: there are so many ideas packed within. It's a gem that argues, and reinforces, that doing the right thing is really the best way to run a business after all. For those of us aspiring to run businesses along the lines of the CASTLE principles, many of these points may seem second nature, but having one's values validated so thoroughly is inspiring and encouraging. I am more committed than ever to stay the course. In the end, the principles and ideas contained herein are not just for leading a good business: they are for leading a good life.

Great book on leadership!

I have been in the leadership business for more than twenty years. This one hit's the nail on the head. Every leader can use all of the CASTLE principles. My recommendation is if you are a leader buy this book. If you are a follower buy one for your leader! My Boss already has one!

"One" A Great Read

One is about all the things you learned in kindergarten and then through life, forgot. Secretan reminds us of how we should treat our fellow man. If we all practiced his servant leadership the world would be a much better place. Following his simple guidelines will make you a better, more loving and lovable person. Easy but very captivating read.

Art and Practice of Conscious Leadership

Very good service and product. Definitely will continue to shop Amazon and refer to friends.

"Whenever we experience pain or sadness, it is because we have become separated from what, or whom, we love. And whenever we are inspired and joyful, it is because we are one with what, or whom, we love. All human challenges and successes can be explained through this awareness."

In ONE: The Art and Practice of Conscious Leadership, Lance Secretan brilliantly reframes leadership theory with a new vision for the 21st century?a vision of reconnecting each of us with our deepest human needs. He traces 6,000 years of history to show how we have become detached from our innate sense of oneness, and instead, have embraced the illusion of separateness, rooted in science and rational thought. Secretan reveals how this illusion has created profound misunderstandings about leadership and how we can, once again, become conscious leaders?through the practice of oneness. The conscious leader practices the CASTLE Principles?CASTLE is an acronym for six attributes: Courage, Authenticity, Service, Truthfulness, Love, and Effectiveness. Like all fundamental, life-changing concepts, these are simple ideas?well known to us all, yet easier to talk about than to live. Secretan shows us how to embrace these principles, helping us to see the sacred connections between everyone and everything?which is the source of conscious leadership. ONE combines many practical exercises and reflections to help refresh our ideas about leadership and life with stories of remarkable people and organizations from around the world that are living this new thinking. Secretan has written an empowering book for all leaders in all walks of life. ONE is essential reading for those who yearn for innovative ideas about leading and living consciously in ways that will inspire and transform people, organizations, and the world.
