A new vision for leadership is critical for solving today's global crises. Visionary thought leader and Zynergy International founder Maria Brinck shares her transformative journey, discussing the essential need to break up the traditional leadership monopoly. As the head of a leadership advisory firm founded in 2013, Maria works with board members, CEOs, and executives to generate the diversity of thought necessary for today's global problems. Her personal shift from an executive sales career to working with chimpanzees and indigenous people in the Cameroon rainforest forged a unique perspective on the true balance of masculine and feminine qualities. This balance, she argues, is missing in corporate America where 80% of employees are disengaged. Maria also delves into the core ideas of her book, The Leadership We Need, explaining that stepping outside of our comfort zone is the key to personal "aliveness." Ultimately, a global-minded approach, embracing the wisdom of all humanity, is vital for solving our biggest challenges and building a bright future.
