The Plant of Leadership: Cultivating Ethical Growth in Leadership
Leadership is not about titles.
It’s about transformation. In a world where toxic systems and burnout threaten progress, The Plant of Leadership offers a groundbreaking approach to ethical leadership rooted in resilience, authenticity, and growth.
​
Drawing on evidence-based strategies and real-world insights, Dr. Teranda Knight introduces a powerful metaphor: leadership as a living plant. Just as plants require healthy soil, pruning, and care to thrive, leaders need intentional practices to bloom, even in adversity.
This book goes beyond theory, providing practical tools for:

✅ Adaptive Leadership: Navigate complex challenges with confidence and clarity.
✅ Trauma-Informed Practices: Build psychologically safe environments that foster trust and innovation.
✅ Ethical Decision-Making: Eliminate blind spots and lead with integrity.
Whether you’re a higher education administrator, behavioral health leader, or an executive seeking sustainable success, this book equips you with actionable strategies to transform your leadership journey.
Why It Matters
In a world where leadership is often reduced to performance metrics and burnout is normalized, The Plant in Leadership offers a radical alternative: growth without exploitation, clarity without chaos, and leadership without losing yourself.
