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.

✅ Adaptive Leadership: Navigate complex challenges with confidence and clarity.
