The Leadership Crisis in the West: A Way Forward
In his compelling talk, "The Leadership Crisis in the West: A Way Forward," August Turak addresses the pressing issue of leadership in contemporary Western society. Drawing from his extensive experience in business and spirituality, Turak explores the systemic challenges and moral shortcomings that have led to a leadership crisis. He argues that traditional models of leadership are failing to address the complexities of today’s world, resulting in a pervasive sense of disconnection and ineffectiveness in both corporate and community settings.
Central to Turak’s message is the insight he gained from his acclaimed book, Business Secrets of the Trappist Monks. In this talk, he shares how the principles of service, humility, and selflessness—embodied by the Trappist monks—offer a revolutionary approach to leadership. By highlighting the monastic practices of the Trappists, Turak illustrates how these age-old principles can be applied to modern leadership challenges to foster integrity, purpose, and authentic connection.
Turak’s talk provides practical strategies for reimagining leadership through a lens of spiritual and ethical values, offering a way forward for leaders seeking to create more meaningful and impactful organizations. His insights challenge conventional thinking and invite audiences to embrace a transformative approach to leadership that prioritizes service and selflessness over self-interest and short-term gains.
