The Kinetic Tide: A Leadership Cycle Drawn from Water by Kate Van Name
The Kinetic Tide: A Leadership Cycle Drawn from Water by Kate Van Name is a thoughtful and practical guide for leaders navigating a world where conditions rarely stay still long enough for traditional leadership playbooks to work.
Drawing on three decades of leadership experience, Kate uses the natural rhythm of water and tides to introduce twelve movements of leadership—from stillness and clarity to purpose, action, adaptation, and release. Rather than forcing results according to a fixed plan, readers learn to recognize the conditions they are actually facing and respond accordingly.
At the heart of The Kinetic Tide is a powerful leadership skill: perception. By learning to read changing currents, leaders can make better decisions, know when to move forward, when to adjust, and when to let go.
Perfect for leaders, managers, entrepreneurs, coaches, and professionals navigating change, The Kinetic Tide offers a fresh approach to leadership—one that encourages us to work with changing conditions rather than constantly fighting against them.
