Product Description
From Library Journal
Jaworski, the son of Watergate special prosecutor Leon Jaworski, here presents his personal philosophy of life. As founder of the American Leadership Forum, Jaworski espouses the value of servant leadership, which calls for leadership that is relationship-oriented, creative, and constructive. Additionally, he comments on the world economic situation. Regrettably, the author seems too self-absorbed at times, wandering from topic to topic without providing any insight. At one point, Jaworski claims, "We are all one," but how does one apply that to leadership? Due to the lack of any practical ideas, this recording is not recommended.?Mark Guyer, Stark Cty. Dist. Lib., Canton, Ohio

Product Description
Synchronicity is an inspirational guide to developing the most essential leadership capacity for our time: how we can collectively shape our future. Through the telling of his life story, Jaworski posits that a real leader sets the stage on which "predictable miracles, " seemingly synchronistic in nature, can - and do - occur. He shows that this capacity has more to do with our being - our total orientation of character and consciousness - than with what we do. Leadership, he explains, is about creating - day by day - a domain in which human beings continually deepen their understanding of reality and are able to participate in shaping the future. He describes three basic shifts of mind required if we are to create and discover an unfolding future - shifts in how we see the world, how we understand relationships, and how we make commitments - and offers a new definition of leadership that applies to all types of leaders.

Business as Spirituality,
By
This review is from: Synchronicity: The Inner Path of Leadership (Paperback)
I first read this book 4 years ago, the way it just appeared on my kitchen table one day was itself an experience of Synchronicity. I'll never forget my first thought about it, "What could some attorney from Houston have to teach me about leadership?"But upon cracking its cover, I was transformed. It's impact was enough to inspire me to start my own business within six months with it as a guide. It occupies a prized section of my desk with few other books that have helped me to define myself and what contribution I can do my best with to serve humanity. It is quite simply the best buisness book I've ever read and as such I refer to it regularly. May we be able to attain its goal of, as page 118 states, "finding the resources of character to meet our destiny, of finding the wisdom and power to serve others."

Real Honest Communication...filled with human emotion,
By Bonnie Walker (Toronto ON) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Synchronicity: The Inner Path of Leadership (Paperback)
Rarely I find a book that compells me to read it cover to cover. This one did. I came away from this book feeling as though I made a friend in Joe Jaworski. I shared many of the same stops on my journey - Richard Bach (Johnathan Livingston Seagull), Leo Basgalia (Bus 9 to Paradise), Hugh Prather (Notes to Myself) which I guess made it feel so familiar...I laughed and I cried with this book. "Synchronicity" touched my heart. It speaks to the deepest part of authentic communication. Read it.

Reads like a good mystery novel,
By
This review is from: Synchronicity: The Inner Path of Leadership (Hardcover)
My colleagues and I have been designing and facilitating leadership development programs for about 20 years. I've also served as a VP of three Fortune 500 companies. I recommend this book to everyone who is a leader or who wants to be one. Not only does it contain THE secret to true leadership, Mr. Jaworski has written his account so that it reads like a good mystery novel. You wonder what will happen next. And he has written this book from his heart. I hope our paths cross one day soon.
