Books by Karin Jironet
In an accessible and engaging style, Karin Jironet demonstrates the process of personal transformation using Dante’s seven sins and virtues, explains the value of psychology and spirituality for leadership roles, and presents a pioneering and refreshed vision of leadership that meets present global demands for social cohesion and sustainability. This revised edition contains updates throughout and presents personal narratives that illustrate the seven virtues of leadership practice in our current socio-political context. This book addresses questions on how leadership is defined, exercised and communicated in contemporary society.
Feminine Leadership will be of great interest to all leaders and professionals who wish to familiarize themselves with personal leadership development and learn how Jungian theory has been put into practice in this field.
This handbook aims to draw the best and most creative thinking about the field of transformation in one place, to present a comprehensive overview of leading edge transformation theories and approaches for both the academic and the practitioner. In fact, the lines between academic and practitioner are becoming more and more blurred these days. Many management faculty also consult to organizations, a practice that deeply enriches their teaching and research. And many successful full-time consultants conduct high quality research to support their approaches and change initiatives. This Handbook aims to be a creative dialogue in this space that integrates transformation theory and practice.
The Handbook of Personal and Organizational Transformation acknowledges the classic literature and principles that have informed the field to date, but primarily showcases authors who are on the cutting edge of new theories and new approaches to give us their latest thinking. Some of these ideas are conjecture about what is possible in human and organizational development. Some of these approaches are currently being tested in the field and may not yet have scientific results. And some of these theories and models have stunning results, but may not have been published in academic journals because the author is a practitioner instead of an academic, or because the concepts are a little too far out of the mainstream.
The aim of this book is to expand the reader’s thinking and to encourage readers to be courageous about their involvement in creating transformation, at whatever level they feel called to do so. It will serve as an essential resource for researchers and students of organizational culture, leadership, and change management, as well as consultants, business and team leaders, and anyone interested in global trends and their impact on corporate culture.
Offering a psycho-spiritual examination of Dante’s journey through Purgatory and the seven sins and virtues, the book discusses the process of overcoming the tension between inner motivations and outer expectations through personal development in order to achieve true leadership.
Topics include:
the process of personal transformation using Dante’s description of the seven sins and virtues
the value of psychology and spirituality for women in leadership roles
the new vision of leadership that meets present global demands for social cohesion and sustainability.
Female Leadership will be of great interest to all professionals who wish to familiarise themselves with personal leadership development and learn how Jungian theory has been put into practice in this field, as well as to leaders in corporate and non-corporate organisations.
Creative Social Change is rooted in interviews with five prominent thought leaders — Robert Quinn, Otto Scharmer, Edgar Schein, Peter Senge, and Margaret Wheatley — who discuss their work in organizational and societal development. Readers will then discover contributions on what is needed for change from longstanding creative scholar-practitioners, such as Riane Eisler and Karl-Henrik Robèrt, as well as new voices. The book concludes with several case studies from around the world (including Latin America, Asia, the United States, New Zealand, and Africa) that readers can thoughtfully consider.
According to Editor Kathryn Goldman Schuyler, who also edited the 2014 book Leading with Spirit, Presence, and Authenticity, “In the face of any human or cultural tendencies to focus on what doesn’t work, we can choose to contribute to what does, to planting seeds for the future. Perhaps this is core to health: finding ways to appreciate the current moment while contributing to people and actions that we sense to be towards life, rather than focusing on making do, making money, or doing what we believe to be required of us.”
Unlike organizational effectiveness, which suggests something that works really well like a machine or a computer, organizational health is more fitting for our living, humanly-constructed societies—communities with heart and consciousness. No one would wish for ineffective action or leadership, but effectiveness on its own does not create a vital, dynamic organization, community, or world. If you, your organization, or your community is investing in leadership and sustainability, this book is for you.

Wat is de rol van het geweten? Hoe be loedt het leiders in hun werk, en maakt het een verschil binnen de organisatie of in de maatschappij?
Vriesendorp en Jironet voerden gesprekken met een aantal leiders van grote Nederlandse bedrijven over de rol van hun geweten in hun functie. Deze leiders spreken uit het hart over het streven aan hun geweten trouw te blijven, over de rol van hun geweten bij de beslissingen die ze nemen, en de daaruit voortvloeiende bijdragen aan een beterfunctioneren van bedrijf en maatschappij.
Het geweten blijkt ingebed in een bedrijfs- of landscultuur te zijn, maar uiteindelijk maakt de leider die met zijn of haar persoonlijkheid waar. Het is een zeer krachtige, innerlijke overtuiging die nauwelijks in het openbaar bespro-ken wordt. In de woorden van Rijkman Groenink: 'Als ik voel dat iets niet werkt, maar ik krijg argumenten op tafel waarom het w kan, ben ik toch geneigd te redeneren naar waarom het niet moet.'
Een inleidende bespiegeling over het geweten wordt verzorgd door Herman Wijffels, executive director Wereldbank, voormalig voorzitter van de SER.
Drs David Vriesendorp was voorheen algemeen directeur van Amnesty International Nederland en directeur van SOS-Kinderdorpen Nederland. Tevens was hij werkzaam in het bedrijfsleven en bij de overheid. Hij is thans directeur van Eb & Vloed, waar ondernemers door het woelige water van het ethisch ondernemen worden geloodst.
Dr Karin Jironet is theologe en psychologe. Ze is werkzaam bij De Baak VNO-NCW op het gebied van leiderschapsontwikkeling. Zij is executive coach en auteur van The Image of Spiritual Liberty en The Quest for Unity (in voorbereiding).
De wijsheidtradities die u in dit boek aantreft, zoals het Hindoeïsme, Christendom, Humanisme, Jodendom, Boeddhisme, Confucianisme en het Soefisme, hebben de tand des tijds doorstaan en zich steeds weten te voegen naar de taal van de mensen in hun tijd en cultuur. Wat deze tradities gemeen hebben zijn de verhalen vol wijsheid, ondernemerschap en levenskunst op vele terreinen van het leven. De tradities, mits ontdaan van dogma's en leefregels bieden nog steeds een sterke morele oriëntatie op waarden die verbindend zijn en leiden tot constructieve, duurzame en daarmee ook wijze besluiten.
De auteurs zijn gezaghebbend in het veld van onderwijs, het bedrijfsleven, de wetenschap, de zakelijke dienstverlening of de geloofsgemeenschap. Met dit boek willen zij de manager, bestuurder, professional of ondernemer inspireren bij het uitoefenen van hun maatschappelijke rol en bij het nemen van 'wijze' besluiten.
Geven we de materiële output steeds voorrang in de besluitvorming of zijn er andere zaken die uiteindelijk tot meer rendement leiden? Wat is wijsheid?
