Society is changing at a rapid pace. In this evolving world, it has become essential for visionary leaders to move beyond traditional theoretical leadership models. Marcos Fraiha has a background working for diverse companies, including the agricultural sector, digital startups, and multinational conglomerates. In The Unconscious Skill, the author advocates for leadership that provides stability through change, encompassing vision, finding the balance between vision and reality, and relying on instincts. Beginning with the exploration of rationalism and empiricism and their influence on social, scientific, and individual observations, Fraiha demonstrates how even seemingly simple deterministic systems can lead to emergent, unpredictable outcomes and how social interactions emulate similar patterns. According to Fraiha, societal changes demand a review of our understanding of management methods and social skills.

Author Marcos Fraiha provides in-depth insights into the consequences of paradigms on groups, organizations, and leadership, stressing the need for leaders with perceptive ability and consciousness to challenge existing paradigms. The Unconscious Skill is not your ordinary leadership book but an illuminating guide that calls for a transformative, evolving, and flexible leadership model, focusing on a deeper understanding of the human psyche and social behavior. You will learn about developing intuitive and emotional intelligence, managing bias, the relationship between leadership, management, and power, as well as the four stages of leadership evolution. Through real-life stories, examples, and citations, Fraiha offers a comprehensive guide that sheds light on the foundational principles of adaptive leadership. I found the book not only informative and educational but also very inspiring. Whether you're a corporate executive, an aspiring entrepreneur, or a mid-level manager, The Unconscious Skill is a must-read for all modern leaders.
