History is filled with accounts of great leaders, but how did they become so? Written for emergent leaders in any endeavor, this new work from renowned consultant Richard Strozzi-Heckler offers a new approach to leadership. The first book of its kind to base business and management strength on integral body awareness, the book presents key principles such as shugyo, or self-cultivation, as crucial in developing the individual responsibility, social commitment, and moral and spiritual vision required to lead with authority and efficacy. The Leadership Dojo is based on three questions: What does a leader do? What are the character values most essential to exemplary leadership? How do you teach these values? Drawing on the wisdom of ages from Plato to the Bhagavad-Gita, from Thucydides to the Abidharma, the book asserts that understanding and answering these questions holds the key to superior leadership skills. Strozzi-Heckler teaches with real-world examples based on his wide experience training decision-makers at companies like AT&T and Microsoft. The books multifaceted approach helps readers establish a powerful Leadership Presence, a platform from which they can take ethical action with compassion and pragmatic wisdom.

FOREWORD
Whenever I give a speech at a business meeting, speakers are often asked to sign a nondisclosure form revealing whether or not there might be a conflict of interest. So, in the spirit of full disclosure, let me say right up front that Richard Strozzi-Heckler is one of my dearest friends and one of the most gifted visionaries I know.
Visionaries in any field have the rare capacity to see our world from a fresh perspective. They also have the ability, often, to put that viewpoint into words so that we, too, can learn to see with new eyes. Richards viewpoint in this book is to help us see a new world of embodied leadership in action. He sees from the perspective of an aikido teacher with a thirty-year history of practice. He sees from the vantage point of an accomplished clinical psychologist. He sees from the experience of a compassionate and wise elder who has been on the front lines of leadership education for many years.
The wisdom in this book is grounded in real practice. I have had the rare privilege of teaching with Richard in corporate leadership and team programs and have witnessed the breakthrough possibilities available through the somatic practices he teaches. Through our joint work, I have become increasingly clear that information does not change behavior. Practices do. It is clear to me that we must engage the whole leadermind, emotions, spirit and body. When we work at that level, leadership development sticks.
Personally, Richard has illuminated the embodied leader in me, as well. I find myself thinking again and again on some of the things he teaches. He has struck some deep chords within me. Here are several of Richards insights from the book which have found deep resonance within me. They are a sampler of the wealth of truths to be found throughout this book:
~The body we are is the life we live.
