"A deeply personal and moving narrative that opens up new vistas on
compassion, commitment, and connectedness--and hence on
leadership."
--James MacGregor Burns, Pulitzer Prize-winning presidential
biographer and Woodrow Wilson Professor of Government, Emeritus,
Williams College
"An insightful, profound, and readable contribution to
understanding the personal side of leadership."
--Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Ernest L. Arbuckle Professor of Business
Administration, Harvard Business School, and author of
SuperCorp
"An unusually thoughtful exploration of the 'inner' aspects of
leadership, particularly in the business arena, surfaces in Joseph
Jaworski's Synchronicity. Eschewing easy answers and ten-point
plans to success, presenting the insights he has garnered from
forward-looking thinkers including David Bohm and Rupert Sheldrake,
Jaworski offers a searching and wise brief that deserves to be read
in boardrooms everywhere."
--Publishers Weekly
"Synchronicity is an intensely personal and compelling book. As I
reeled from Jaguars to mountaintops to oil companies and a rare
window on history, I was grateful that Joe Jaworski let us travel
with him on 'the inner path of leadership.'"
--Frances Hesselbein, President and CEO, Leader to Leader
Institute
"From seemingly simple early chords, this book develops into a
prophetic symphony by its conclusion."
--M. Scott Peck, author of The Road Less Traveled
"Synchronicity is a book that anyone serious about leadership will
have to read."
--Peter Senge, author of The Fifth Discipline
"Synchronicity illustrates that leadership is about the release of
human possibilities, about enabling others to break free of
limits--created organizationally or self-imposed. Although this
book describes the author's personal journey, it contains profound
messages about organizational learning and effectiveness."
--Phil Carroll, President and CEO Emeritus, Shell Oil Company
"Written from the heart as well as the head, Synchronicity is the
story of one man's journey toward the place we all must go in the
century ahead. Jaworski's life demonstrates that the immense
cultural and institutional change that a livable future demands can
begin anytime, anywhere, in anyone, even those who have benefited
greatly from the old order of things."
--Dee W. Hock, founder and President and CEO Emeritus, Visa
International
"Jaworski's personal search for insight and inspiration is told so
compellingly that the reader hardly notices how deep is the
philosophy of leadership it conveys--and how broadly relevant to
leaders in every domain."
--Harlan Cleveland, former President, World Academy of Art and
Science
"I've spent my life writing about a new way to think and to be. Joe
Jaworski has spent his living it. His deeply personal vision of
Servant Leadership, nurtured by a courageous openness to love, to
pain, and to his own and others' experience, is told with a
profound simplicity. Synchronicity touched deeply both my head and
my heart."
--Danah Zohar, coauthor of Spiritual Capital
"No other book is like this one. Its gripping life stories
punctuate a how-to on managing toward 'predictable miracles' by
exploring your 'cubic centimeters of chance.' What a wake-up
call!"
--Tom Brown's Top Ten Business Books of 1996
"Joseph Jaworski pinpoints the astonishing encounters that
manifested in his life when he followed his inner compass. Wise
guides rose spontaneously; fate cleared blockages; love was caught
in an airport passing; even an ermine communed eye to eye.
Jaworski's life story teaches us how to recognize and respond to
our own moments of inner knowing and how these personal shifts can
reverberate in the world."
