Many leadership development books will teach you “how to lead” — how to get people to respect and follow you, how to climb the corporate ladder, how to build your personal brand, and how to retire rich. But what is missing from a conventional “leader-as-expert” focus is the opportunity to value the strengths and magnificence of your individual employees and colleagues. I want you to bring out the best in them … to be the best of you.
Leading hArtfully is a book about the art and the heart (aka “hArt”) of leadership. It’s an invitation to bring your best self forward in transformative ways to discover and leverage the best in others — in your work and in your everyday life.
I hope that this book will change the way you show up to work each day and spark the possibility that you could be at the start of immediate contagious change in your organization – and life.
Whether you work in finance or technology, healthcare, retail, communications, education, or professional services, this book offers you an invitation to change everything for your career, your people, and your organization.
