“Monica Sharma embodies the mindful and compassionate change agent
the world needs now. In Radical Transformational Leadership she
offers us all a map for action, and a clarion call to become the
change we want to see.”
—Daniel Goleman, author of, Emotional Intelligence
“We live in a world battling for peace, threatened with violence,
where inequality is justified as both means and ends. This
self-destructive worldview is dominated and backed by spurious
arguments for a leadership based on the idea of supremacy of a
race, religion, or culture. Monica Sharma’s counterargument is
gentle and persuasive. Her voice, based on experience and
conviction, strengthens the case that leadership can be shaped with
equality, freedom, and justice, rooted in the transformational
power of human compassion.”
—Aruna Roy, sociopolitical activist, recipient of 2000 Ramon
Magsaysay Award
“The survival and future of humanity and civilization depends
on the framework Monica Sharma outlines in Radical Transformational
Leadership. It is my sincere hope that anyone who wants to
participate in healing our wounded planet will read this book
and follow its principles.”
—Deepak Chopra
“Anyone who doubts that the changes needed to lift our world beyond
the chaos of today’s deep problems and political chest-thumping
needs look no further than this book. The ‘new field’ she describes
as ‘radical systems and cultural transformation’ constitutes a kind
of invisible renaissance emerging around the world of understanding
the entwined inner and outer nature of genuine systemic
change.”
—Peter Senge, MIT and Academy for System Change
“In this astonishing and deeply inspiring book, Monica Sharma
invites us on a journey that is both life-changing and
world-changing. Drawing on her rich experience and profound

as leaders to help transform the world. I recommend it highly!”

for our time should read this work. It is destined to become a
classic.”
—Andrew Harvey, author of The Hope: A Guide to Sacred Activism

how. With an expansive global vision, a compassionate heart, and
radical courage, she shares her practical experience in pioneering
transformative leadership. Monica is a rare soul who stands up to
power and demands results. We need to listen.”

“This is a book that I have been waiting for all my life! Here is
the master document on human development and social change written
by one of the world’s leading social artists. Monica Sharma’s
brilliant and compassionate work and ingenious know-how has
lifted, inspired and helped to alleviate centuries-old problems.
She offers a dynamic set of approaches, templates and tools as
profound as it is precise in the art and science of transformation.
To my mind, it is a crucial systemic exploration of how to work
with and transform the interlocking circumstances contributing to
the complex problems we are facing. To achieve a world that offers
peace, equity, and well-being for everyone, this extraordinary work
offers the reader creative ways and means of contributing to a

dysfunctional economics and achieve the Sustainable Development
Goals. This book belongs in libraries and on the shelves of global
citizens all over our world.”
