Humanly Possible

Humanly Possible: A New Model of Leadership for a More Inclusive World is about using our power to create spaces where people feel they truly belong-leading to less stress and more happiness, to better and more productive workplaces, and ultimately to more fulfilling lives for everyone.The book centers around three main themes:Human beings have everything we need in order to create radically more inclusive workplaces and a radically more inclusive world. The key is learning to recognize and counter the tricks of the amygdala-our brain's threat-detection expert-and activating the neocortex, allowing our creativity and collaborative energies to shine forth.Power mucks up everything. Not only does power amplify our ability to do harm (even when we don't mean to); it also makes it hard for us to see the impact of our actions. You will gain tools for minimizing harm, for healing, and for reckoning with impact.When difference is present, someone needs to adapt. Who should adapt? Those with more power. Learn specific skills for 'bridging': adapting behavior toward those with less power.Jason D. Patent's Humanly Possible is for anyone interested in creating a more inclusive world. We can do this, people!
