The ANIMA Model
The ANIMA model of leadership symbolizes a truly soulful approach to the enormous privileges and responsibilities embedded in leadership. In a global, increasingly interconnected society, the leaders who create the greatest impact will be those who serve, mentor, and inspire others.

A soulful leader seeks to provide more benefits than simply profit to his or her stakeholders. A premium is placed on treating employees as co-entrepreneurs; on conservancy of the environment; on local, as well as global outreach; and on an intentional strategy for operation that serves the common good. If the leadership of an organization conducts every transaction according to the Golden Rule: treating everyone as they, themselves wish to be treated; they will achieve the fullest potential of their vocation.
