The Human Operating System: Recovering the Heart and Soul of Your Leadership

Transform Your Life and Leadership.There are two ways to get through the great rain forest in Brazil. You can hack your way through the dense forest with a machete, or you can find the nearest tributary that will eventually take you through the jungle to the mighty Amazon river. The Human Operating System is like the Amazon in that it flows through the heart of leadership development like a mighty river.Applying the five transformative principles of the HOS is so much more effective than hacking through the forest of leadership trade books, workshops, and management techniques. Many of these tools can be helpful, but they often function more like "Apps" or accessories rather than a deeper Operating System that can offer meaning, direction, and coherence to everything you might do as a Leader.Jack Nicholson and Rob Murray have been developing the Human Operating System over many years of work with executive leaders, teams, and organizations. The deep change process and principles embedded in the HOS have made a significant difference with leaders who have become frustrated, depleted, and fragmented, trying to build enterprises with tools and resources no longer sufficient.With the HOS, leaders can experience a sense of flow and convergence that makes leading their organization much more energizing and fulfilling than merely trying harder and running faster to perform. When the Human Operating System is installed, everything else in the leader and organizational development can work better. Thatis the hope of this book-that high-capacity leaders and teams will experience the authentic power, energy, and strength of the Amazon River flowing beneath them.
