Synopsis

Are you feeling weary? Overwhelmed by the scope of your leadership? Do you wonder where your work is taking you or what it’s all for?

You’re not alone. Every generation reaches a point of rude awakening where what is demanded of us is more than what is given us. What we’ve been prepared for isn’t what we’re facing. What we’ve been taught is the good life really isn’t.

Jerome Daley points us to ancient wisdom that long ago exposed the limits of celebrity and achievement cults: the monastic tradition. It offers not only meaning and a critique of values antithetical to a good life, but also ways of living and leading that will fill you up and dramatically increase your impact. Your leadership is meant for more; Gravitas will help you find the path.

Daley makes the case for the need for humility, service & generosity, and rootedness in leaders in the ministry and business world. Each chapter gives multiple personal practice prompts, rooted in monastic and ancient practices, for developing these. Being a stay-at-home parent of young kids, I'm no......more
