A thoroughly 'reader friendly' and instructive guide March 3, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
"The Leadership Dojo: Build Your Foundation As An Exemplary Leader" by nationally known speaker and business consultant on leadership and mastery Richard Strozzi-Heckler is based on the concept of 'somatics' (a unity of language, action, energy, and meaning) as it applies to leadership, enabling and allowing practitioners to increase and reinforce trust, motivation, and effectiveness in those organizations they are responsible for. Drawing from his years of experience and expertise in counseling and training Fortune 500 executives, top-ranked military leaders, and social entrepreneurs, Richard Strozzi-Hecker combines a martial arts mastery with practical and tested business strategies that have proved 'real world' successful with his thousands of clients. Informed and informative, inspired and inspiring, "The Leadership Dojo" is a thoroughly 'reader friendly' and instructive guide that is especially recommended to anyone entrusted with a leadership responsibility within the framework of any commercial, governmental, religious, or social issues organization.

Strozzi-Heckler struck more than a few nerves with the presentation of his points in this book. Teaching leadership to those in the construction industry needs a new way to broach respecting subordinates other than the frou-frou way many do now. The idea of practicing these skills and fine tuning them is right on target. Because of this book every time I see an ad for Akido I think about signing up for classes. This is a very easy and interesting read.

I easily read 50+ leadership books a year and this one is truly amazing. Richard Strozzi-Heckler offers noteworthy distinctions that are very accessible and practical. I endorse his belief that leadership is more than what one knows -- it is who one is and how one chooses to show up in the world. This is a must read! I enthusiastically endorse this book and am encourage my friends to read it and apply what they learn on a daily basis.

The Leadership Dojo: leading from the inside out.. November 29, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I currently supervise a small team, within a larger organization. I have always been resistant to authority, and had a hard time "embodying" it, when I have been expected to lead. This book is really giving me insight into the values and principles of leadership from an experiential point of view, not from an "Outside-in" approach. The book makes me interested in training with the author, or following a body-centered, process oriented approach to becoming a better, more confident and effective leader.
I recommend this book for anyone who wants to be a more effective leader of other people, or those who just want to "lead their own lives", more effectively, confidently and congruently. It's not just another self-help book, or another business success book with the latest buzz-words, but it's based the author's years of leadership consulting work with top corporations and the military, as well many years of committed Aikido practice. (Aikido is a Japanese non-resistant form of martial arts, whose philosophy can also be applied to other types of interactions with others.)
The Dojo: A Place to Learn October 25, 2007

What is unique and terribly important about Richard Strozzi-Heckler's new work is that he is reclaiming the idea that there can be a PLACE where one can learn about and address the whole person. The book ties together the author's many years as both a Somatic teacher and the Sensei (Teacher) of a growing Aikido dojo and community. The book is full of practical suggestions and insights into how one can enter into this place and take advantage of what is offered. I think Strozzi-Heckler has written more than a book on leadership. He has written a book on life.
