Now more than ever, your success as a leader isn't
just about being a great business person. You've got to be a great
person, performing well in all domains of your life -- your work,
your home, your community, and your private self.
That's a tall order.
The good news is that, contrary to conventional
wisdom about "balance," you don't have to assume that these domains
compete in a zero-sum game. Total Leadership is a game-changing
blueprint for how to perform well as a leader not by trading off one
domain for another, but by finding mutual value among all four. Stew
Friedman shows you how to achieve these "four-way wins" as a leader
who can:
Be real: Act with authenticity by clarifying what's
important
Be whole: Act with integrity by respecting the whole
person
Be innovative: Act with creativity by experimenting
to find new solutions
With engaging examples and clear instruction, Friedman provides more
than thirty hands-on tools for using these proven principles to
produce stronger business results, find clearer purpose in what you
do, feel more connected to the people who matter most, and generate
sustainable change.
Most leadership development books focus only on your professional
skills, while books about personal growth concentrate on your needs
beyond work. Total Leadership is different. It's a unique and
long-awaited resource that shows how to win in all domains of life.
In a world of work-life trade-offs, Stew Friedman offers what most
think impossible: a field-tested program that gives you not only
what you want in business, but also what you want in life.
Brilliant.
