Description
This book is about developing 'inner game' skills of mindful awareness, heart attunement, embodiment, and resilience in order to play your best 'outer' game and lead within your company with courage and brilliance. Its practices teach us how to grow inner capacities that will push us to new heights and cope when things are roughest. Hauck, a leadership consultant, frequent presenter, and business school instructor at Stanford and Berkeley, interviewed a number of top 'conscious business' leaders for this book and highlights the inner tools they use for success. It is clear that the boldest and most innovator leaders honor and value qualities like presence, tolerance, compassion, and resilience, so that they can bring wisdom, grace, and courage into the workplace and the world. This is what Hauck calls stepping in and stepping up, and it is precisely the kind of leadership the world needs now. Through the practices offered in this book, Hauck shows leaders how to align their deepest values with their everyday work style and work goals and support this alignment in the people and teams they lead. In addition to the interviews conducted for this book, the author writes about her own original research on resilience, well-being, and authenticity in corporate culture as well as the work of others in this field.
