Individuals and organizations seek new growth and development options in a world of constant change and rapid speed. Awakened Leadership: Uniting Organization Development and Awareness Integration Theory is a pioneering study of organization development and human consciousness that advocates a holistic approach to progress. This book, written by visionary leaders in organization development and awareness integration therapy, changes how we see and manage the evolution of individuals, teams, and organizations. It questions the belief that human growth and organizational transformation are separate and asserts that genuine advancement requires a combined and purposeful effort.

The book begins with Organization Development (OD), its intervention levels, and the basics of intervention coaching. Next, the book discusses how Awareness Integration Theory (AIT) may help people evolve. AIT uses psychological concepts and mindfulness to help people explore their consciousness, unlocking latent potential and increasing self-awareness. The book's heart is in the following pages, where the writers blend OD and AIT effectively. They demonstrate the link between personal and professional growth by comparing the development of individuals, teams, and organizations. Through incisive analysis and examples, the authors show how a conscious, integrated strategy may alter individuals, teams, and organizations.

Readers are encouraged to discover a new frontier where an organization's collective awareness drives good transformation. The book presents actionable frameworks for leaders, managers, HR professionals, and individuals to use conscious evolution techniques and access their Awakened Leadership in their everyday lives and workplaces. From developing a culture of mindfulness in the business to merging personal development goals with professional ones, the book outlines a future where growth is a deliberate, purposeful process.

Awakened Leadership guides people seeking harmonious and purpose-driven personal and professional progress. It encourages us to break down conventional barriers and embrace a new era when corporate performance depends on individual growth. This book shows how organizational growth and consciousness integration may lead to a more conscious and enlightened future.
