A new type of leadership is appearing that parallels the emergence of organizations that operate as a living system focussed on life-creating value rather than simply on profit.

In this Podcast - the first part of a two part interview - Dawna Jones talks to Richard Barrett about his new book "The New Leadership Paradigm" and about fifteen years of results that come from applying a values-centred approach to how individuals, organizations, communities and nations lead themselves.

His work profiles organizational consciousness and makes the invisible tangible enabling cultures to be managed and individuals to expand their consciousness to fit the times. Leaders at all levels can see what to focus on and where energy is being wasted. The new paradigm for leadership applies to all, from entrepreneurs to nations.

Richard Barrett works with leaders and senior executives world-wide to develop values-drive cultures that build human capital, strengthen financial performance and support sustainable development. He is a visiting lecturer at the Consulting and Coaching for Change, leadership course run jointly by HEC Executive Education in Paris and the Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. He is also an adjunct professor at Royal Roads University, Institute for Values-based Leadership in Canada.

Richard's learning lab is the application of his creation, internationally acclaimed Cultural Transformation Tools, which have been used to support more than 2,000 organizations and 3,000 leaders on their transformational journeys, in more than fifty countries. Richard is a Fellow of the World Business Academy, and former Values Coordinator at the World Bank. See: www.valuescentre.com

The Evolutionary Provocateur bi-monthly show is for executives, managers, and supervisors (OR for leaders at all levels) who have noticed that it is not what you know but who you are that has the biggest impact.

Dawna Jones, the show's host, believes that by raising awareness and understanding we can make a quantum leap to a new level of innovation in business - but it has to be done collectively.

What better way to do it than by provoking the evolution of how you see yourself and your role!
