About the book<\/span>

What is this book about?<\/h2>

Peyvandgari offers a way of navigating life through tensions by understanding essential dimensions of leadership: trust, resilience, agility, intuition, courage and complexity. It shows how to draw on these qualities to navigate an increasingly complex world.<\/p>

Taking a critical look at earlier definitions and teaching of leadership, it redefines leadership for our times and for the postmodern individual, grounded in humility, intuition and the importance of human relationships.<\/p><\/div>

What makes this book distinctive?<\/h2>

Peyvandgari explores perspectives on leadership that few books address.<\/p>

<\/circle><\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Leadership as a way of being<\/h3>

It treats leadership as a way of being present and relating to others, rather than a technical skill or a collection of techniques.<\/p><\/div>

<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/div>

The art of connection \u2014 Savoir-Relier<\/h3>

Val\u00e9rie Gauthier\u2019s approach helps leaders build meaningful connections between people, ideas and differences.<\/p><\/div>

<\/circle><\/path><\/svg><\/div>

Finding meaning in complexity<\/h3>

Instead of reducing everything to simple explanations and numbers, it teaches us how to create meaning within complexity and live with it.<\/p><\/div>

<\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/div>

The power of metaphor and poetry<\/h3>

It draws leadership inspiration from an unexpected source: poets. The language of metaphor offers a way to resist reductionism.<\/p><\/div>

<\/circle><\/circle><\/path><\/svg><\/div>

The leader as a Miandar<\/h3>

Like an orchestra conductor, the leader neither decides in place of the musicians nor makes every voice the same; the leader attends to the relationships between them.<\/p><\/div>

<\/rect><\/path><\/svg><\/div>

A practical guide<\/h3>

An entire chapter, the Savoir-Relier protocol, brings the approach from theory into everyday leadership practice.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n

Book summary<\/span>

Peyvandgari at a glance<\/h2>

Peyvandgari is the Persian translation of Leading with Sense by Val\u00e9rie Gauthier of HEC Paris. Its central idea is simple but fundamental: leadership is not a technique, but a way of being, involving presence, listening and human connection in an increasingly complex world. Drawing on more than 25 years of teaching experience, Gauthier introduces Savoir-Relier, the art of connection. Rather than placing the leader at the centre of control, this approach gives the leader the role of a Miandar: someone who attends to the quality of relationships and creates meaning within complexity. Alongside data, it draws on intuition, empathy and even the language of metaphor and poetry. The book ultimately redefines leadership as the art of living with complexity and offers a practical guide to developing that ability.<\/p>Download the summary (PDF)<\/path><\/svg><\/a><\/div><\/section>\n
