This leadership approach fully leverages the supercharged energy of convergence. In a world that expects leadership to be different, unique, and distinct, this is a powerful concept. — Leading with the Heart and Company Celebration co-author Torrance Dermer
For years, corporate leaders have managed using the "fission method": separating employees into different roles and tasks, setting boundaries for information sharing and dissemination, and distributing responsibilities hierarchically and functionally. This approach has made organizations efficient and stable but slow to react and adaptable to change. The reason lies in the "fission method" using only people's bodies and minds, failing to harness the power of their hearts and spirits. This book describes and advocates for the "fusion method" in management, awakening employees' sense of ownership and inspiring them to embrace change, thereby overcoming the obstacles that hinder corporate innovation and development. The author explores six potential forces they believe directly impact organizational effectiveness: thoughts, ideals, hearts, communication, courage, and integrity. The book also details the practical application of social skills in management, including dialogue, future exploration, and large-scale transformation. Leaders can use these skills to drive organizational fusion and foster cohesion among employees.
