Hi Mary,
Can you advise how I can be removed from this list?
I've tried a few times to unsubscribe, but still seem to be on there.
Thanks.
Kind regards,
Brendan

"Twenty-First Century Leadership: A Return to Beauty"
Nancy J. Adler and Andre Delbecq
The soul...never thinks without a picture
Aristotle, 384-322 BCE
We are happy to let you know that the Journal of Management Inquiry has just published Nancy Adler's and Andre Debecq's new article "Twenty-First Century Leadership: A Return to Beauty". The article is based on the AoM session that Andre and Nancy hosted in Montreal at Nancy's art exhibition. They then shared a first draft at the reflective "Lectio Divina" session they hosted at the MSR Retreat on Bowen Island. The article, which includes 12 of Nancy's paintings, is sadly one of the last collaborative articles that Andre was able to co-author. In honor of Andre and the article, Sage and the Journal of Management Inquiry are currently offering FREE DOWNLOADS, so download your copy now.
Abstract
Highlighting Aristotle's (n.d.) appreciation that "The soul...never thinks without a picture", this article weaves together art and ideas into an aesthetic encounter with our humanity. It invites reflection based on long-established wisdom traditions as well as drawing on insights from everyday sacred traditions. You are invited to engage not only in reading the words presented on each page, but also to stop and to meditate on their meaning. You are offered the power of art to intensify your experience and understanding. You are invited to enter into a contemplative silence designed to increase your appreciation of your own and others' humanity while deepening the beauty of your own leadership. Such encounters with art and deep reflection have the power to guide us in rediscovering and creating beauty in our fractured world (Adler, 2015). Encountering art and wisdom through a deeply reflective process does not dismiss science but, rather, partners with all ways of knowing to go beyond what any one approach can produce on its own (Adler, 2015). Thus, the overall invitation of the article is to heighten your understanding of yourself, your role, and your aspirations as a twenty-first century leader.
