Based on extensive research and practical experience observing the qualities demonstrated by today's most successful cultural, political and business leaders, this book explores the competencies that can help us navigate in complex and powerful times. Revised, updated and with an index.

In Dancing at the Edge, Maureen O'Hara and Graham Leicester map the "powerful times" in which we live, the 21st-century competencies required to thrive in this complexity, and how to discover and develop them in practice. The picture that emerges is complex but remarkably clear, and surprisingly hopeful. Organizations of every sort can create the conditions, offer the support, and provide the context within which engaged, aware, passionate, and compassionate people can rise above denial and take on the challenges of today's powerful times.
