Impulse of Interiority

This book is centred on vulnerability, the defining dimension of modern-day leadership. Your vulnerabilities can only be seen by recognising the impulse of your interiority. This shapes your choices and guides you in making discerned decisions. You need to recognise your desires to make discerned decisions that are less self-centred and more for the greater good, to lead a meaningful life and be a great leader. Your decisions come from the locus of your heart. Decoding this core and understanding the atlas of your inner self helps you make proper choices. The desire to see Truth-Goodness-Beauty in everything drives your choices. Deciphering the impulses-conscious and subconscious-helps you to understand how your inner orientations affect your choices. Ultimately, discerning the impulses of interiority and developing a 'discerning heart' is central for meaningful decisions. You can build the muscles of your heart through discernment process. This process (based on Ignatian discernment principles) involves looking inward, mapping the inner movements, being detached from self-centred inclinations, being indifferent, having inner freedom, and serving others for the universal good. This is a continuous journey, and discernment needs to be practised as a way of life for effective decision-making in personal life and business settings.
