Leadership is failing in many forums and failing at an increasing rate as technology accelerates and complicates our existence. Inside, you'll discover the keys -- the source -- to embodying and
performing the well-known but highly elusive traits and functions, respectively,
of the high-impact leader. You'll learn how to develop eight personal drivers,
energies deep within, each of which drives several of the traits and functions
of the high-impact effective leader:
- Presence
- Clarity of thought, emotion, & behavior
- Openness
- Intention
- Personal Responsibility
- Intuition
- Creativity
- Connected communication
With the burgeoning trend toward seeking a deeper grounding personally as a means of performing better professionally, The Source of Leadership is the early "defining voice" of this new leadership discipline.

Reviews:
"This book signals a new age of leadership, one where a higher level of
consciousness and awareness is required of leaders if they are to achieve an
organizational impact. I'm still not convinced leaders can be made, but I am
certain they can improve themselves. The
Source of Leadership contains essential tools for transforming one's
consciousness into a high degree of effectiveness as a leader."
--Lewis Coleman, president of Dream works Animation S.G. and former chief
executive officer of BancAmerica Securities, vice chairman of Bank of America,
and chief executive officer of The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation
"This book is the leader's ideal antidote for a world that is getting more
complex and faster by the minute. Now and in the future, the extraordinary
leader is going to have to be grounded in reality, highly aware, and able to
access powers deep within. The Source of
Leadership is an excellent road map to that kind of leadership."
--Stephen M. Ross, founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of Related, LP
"Traversi understands, on a deep level, that everything is connected. He
understands that until a leader achieves personal empowerment and fulfillment he
cannot become a high-impact leader. At a time when the business and professional
world -- and our country -- is in dire need of excellence and integrity in
leadership, Traversi has written a powerful guide to help transform ordinary
leaders into extraordinary ones. I strongly recommend
The Source of Leadership to anyone who
wants to learn how to lead by example."
--Beverly Engel, MFT, best-selling author of numerous books including
Honor Your Anger and
The Power of Apology
"Traversi has written a bold, innovative book in which he practices what he
preaches. Business books often have an issues/actions structure, illustrated
with case studies. The case studies in The
Source of Leadership are excellent, but the best are those where Traversi
frankly describes the issues he identified in his own personal management style
and how he applied the eight drivers to positive, effect. The result is an
illuminating set of guidelines for any leader."
