What does it take to bring out the best in a business? Is it rigorous analysis of human resources? Fastidious number-crunching? According to acclaimed business leader Federico Renzo Grayeb, the first step to corporate success is actually a leader’s own self-awareness.
His new book, Leadership and Consciousness, reveals his surprising but proven holistic approach to business that focuses as much on the personal development of the leader as it does on more accepted corporate methodology. In fact, Grayeb has already demonstrated the soundness of his provocative method. It has enabled him to effectively turn around businesses all over the world, and garner acclaim for their corporate health. Grayeb’s revolutionary philosophy calls upon business leaders everywhere to integrate personal and professional growth into their work style.
The author contends that elevating the level of consciousness of a new manager or experienced leader is the key to creating a corporate environment that will result in enhanced productivity.
A self-aware leader will in turn focus on this facility in his or her team, who will then come together to best serve the community. Leadership and Consciousness elucidates this phenomenon as concentric circles that emanate outward to change paradigms and affect positive, profound change. This approach will foster the level of sustained performance that can turn around a business, powered by adept individuals who share common goals and purposes that transcend financial objectives and bring meaning to both their jobs and their lives. A company’s competitive edge is actually honed by a culture based on strong values that are shared by its members, where there is a significant integration of the way all team members think, feel, and act.
Through theory and anecdotal examples that synthesize psychology and business practices, Leadership and Consciousness presents a new challenge to current and aspiring business leaders. Leaders who seek to make a true impact on their corporate culture and their surroundings will find inspiration in this bold new business book, as well as proven effective inroads to better business. By streamlining profit and purpose, any leader can construct an environment that is highly

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and Simple.

I believe this book is simply excellent. Simple and excellent.
The fact that it’s written by a “real person” whose main activity is to lead people in a true company is not minor. Mr. Grayeb is not a writer, maybe that's the reason why his words are so accurate and insightful.
Self-awareness is just the starting point to success. With Federico’s holistic approach many current business paradigms are questioned: What is the real meaning of Success? What’s true team spirit? Is it possible to be a great leader without integrity?
To be a successful Leader one must first know its own life purpose. This concept is simple and obvious yet hard to find at these global and crazy times.
Thanks to this book many “leaders” or “followers” might learn that staying within the comfort zone kills the passion of the soul. And companies rarely survive without that energy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring and different
Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2014
I was struck by the deep simplicity of this highly inspiring guide on how to find more meaning to our jobs...and ultimately our lives.
It breaks away from the classic management books and introduces psychological concepts in a clear and simple way. It is good that it uses real life examples, that one can easily relate to, if one happens to be working in the corporate world, as it is my case. I read it during a business trip right before making a presentation to my management team... I cannot tell why or how but it made me interact with my employees on a different level!
This book left me reflecting on how to work on my own self awareness before I try to instil in others the will to do the same. Great balance between effective leadership and care for the people you lead...highly recommendable!

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical and spiritual business guide
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2014
I read a lot of business books, and this one is excellent. It offers a concise, practical, and inspirational message about how to lead your business. Grayeb makes a compelling case for first getting in touch with your own authentic self, then connecting with your team, and finally with your community, to better manage your employees. I found this book helpful in addressing quickly and clearly key issues for business leaders hoping to improve their teams and their lives. I look forward to using it, and I will recommend it to members of my firm as a discussion guide for our next retreat.
