An adequate understanding of the unfoldment and growth of the Faith of Bahá’u’lláh in Latin America will necessarily involve a careful study of its contents.

Transformative Leadership: Developing the Hidden Dimension teaches readers about the inner qualities, attitudes, and values that equip a leader to catalyze transformation. This companion Study Guide helps put those principles into practice. Chapter by chapter, key concepts are translated into practical tools for mastery. Using thought provoking questions, individual and group activities, as well as processes for ongoing learning, the capabilities to affect personal and institutional transformation are simplified into actions we can all take to remake our lives, our communities, and our organizations.

Most books on leadership focus on skills - those visible aspects of leaders that garner applause, accolades and awards. This book is concerned with what is usually overlooked - the invisible aspects - ones that may never get noticed but without which a leader can never be truly great. This book is concerned with that inner dimension that not only enhances important skills, but determines if the leader will choose to forgo self-interest for the common good. It is those inner qualities, attitudes, and values that equip a leader to accept personal sacrifice in order to catalyze transformation. These are the leaders we need today.

Often leadership is considered to be the exclusive calling of a few. In contrast, transformative leadership indicates how we can all show leadership at home, at school and in the organizations to which we belong, without the need of authority or a formal position as the head of a group. Transformative leadership puts emphasis on the interaction between personal and social transformation and focuses on the nobility in each human being, promoting an attitude of service, and a commitment to moral values freely chosen by each person. Faced with the tremendous challenges that characterize this stage of human history, transformative leadership gives youth an idea of what they can do to build a better world –- starting wherever they are.
