Paperback. There are moments in leadership and in life that arrive carrying a choice.Not the dramatic decisions that fill biographies, but the almost imperceptible turning points where we tighten or soften, push or pause, dominate or disappear. In these moments, something subtle yet consequential shifts. A relationship opens or narrows. A system contracts or grows. A person hardens or develops.Glisk: Moments of Grace in Leadership and Life explores these moments.Drawn from old Scots, glisk refers to a brief glimpse of light, a flash of opening. Here it names those instances when a different way of responding becomes visible, when power and love briefly return to relationship and grace has the conditions it needs to appear.Grace, in this book, is not moral achievement or spiritual polish. It cannot be manufactured through technique. It emerges when presence, courage and relational awareness coincide, often briefly and often at personal cost.Across twenty-five narrative chapters organized into four thematic collections, the book explores what happens when authority tightens under pressure, care turns into over-accommodation, candour loses tenderness, competence outlives its usefulness or conflict threatens connection. Some chapters show grace arriving. Others show it being missed. Often the difference is barely perceptible until its consequences unfold.At the heart of the book lies a central tension: power and love are both necessary yet frequently fall out of relationship. Power without love hardens into control. Love without power dissolves into rescuing and self-erasure. When they reconnect, even briefly, leadership shifts from performance to presence.While grounded in leadership experience, Glisk moves beyond organizational roles. It speaks to parents holding boundaries, partners navigating conflict, managers giving feedback, friends setting limits and individuals meeting their own inner critics. Leadership is reframed not as position but as a way of being with responsibility and relational weight across a whole life.The book will appeal to readers of Brene Brown, Parker Palmer and Margaret Wheatley, and to leaders who have outgrown formulaic development models yet still long for depth, integrity and humanity in how they exercise influence. It also speaks to readers interested in adult development and relational leadership without becoming academic or abstract.In a leadership landscape saturated with tools and tactics, Glisk offers something different: a disciplined and compassionate exploration of the inner and relational conditions under which grace can visit, even briefly.

There are moments in leadership and in life that arrive carrying a choice.
Not the dramatic decisions that fill biographies, but the almost imperceptible turning points where we tighten or soften, push or pause, dominate or disappear. In these moments, something subtle yet consequential shifts. A relationship opens or narrows. A system contracts or grows. A person hardens or develops.
Glisk: Moments of Grace in Leadership and Life explores these moments.
Drawn from old Scots, glisk refers to a brief glimpse of light, a flash of opening. Here it names those instances when a different way of responding becomes visible, when power and love briefly return to relationship and grace has the conditions it needs to appear.
Grace, in this book, is not moral achievement or spiritual polish. It cannot be manufactured through technique. It emerges when presence, courage and relational awareness coincide, often briefly and often at personal cost.
Across twenty-five narrative chapters organized into four thematic collections, the book explores what happens when authority tightens under pressure, care turns into over-accommodation, candour loses tenderness, competence outlives its usefulness or conflict threatens connection. Some chapters show grace arriving. Others show it being missed. Often the difference is barely perceptible until its consequences unfold.
At the heart of the book lies a central tension: power and love are both necessary yet frequently fall out of relationship. Power without love hardens into control. Love without power dissolves into rescuing and self-erasure. When they reconnect, even briefly, leadership shifts from performance to presence.
While grounded in leadership experience, Glisk moves beyond organizational roles. It speaks to parents holding boundaries, partners navigating conflict, managers giving feedback, friends setting limits and individuals meeting their own inner critics. Leadership is reframed not as position but as a way of being with responsibility and relational weight across a whole life.
The book will appeal to readers of Brené Brown, Parker Palmer and Margaret Wheatley, and to leaders who have outgrown formulaic development models yet still long for depth, integrity and humanity in how they exercise influence. It also speaks to readers interested in adult development and relational leadership without becoming academic or abstract.
In a leadership landscape saturated with tools and tactics, Glisk offers something different: a disciplined and compassionate exploration of the inner and relational conditions under which grace can visit, even briefly.

Derecho al desistimiento
Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.
Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.
