The conventional view of a leader emphasizes conspicuous accomplishments or charisma. The author argues that leadership is not about positional power or accomplishments. Instead, true leadership is about creating a domain in which people continually learn and become more capable of participating in their unfolding future. In the author's words, a real leader sets the stage on which "predictable miracles" synchronistic in nature can and do occur.

Synchronicity: The Inner Path of Leadership describes three basic shifts of mind required for individuals to create and discover an unfolding future — shifts in how they see the world, how they understand relationships, and how they make commitments. The author offers a deeper understanding of how human beings might individually and collectively tap their potential to shape the future instead of merely responding to the forces at large.
