Book SynopsisThis groundbreaking book shows how trading in the old business playbook for heart-led leadership strategies will create dedicated employees and higher levels of performance.It's a common belief in business that the heart has no place in workplace management. In fact, most of us were taught that the heart acts like Kryptonite in leadership: it inherently undermines a manager's effectiveness and lowers productivity and profitability. But in this revised and updated edition of his groundbreaking and now classic work, leadership and engagement expert Mark C. Crowley provides irrefutable proof that we were wrong. He will show you:· how traditional leadership practices are failing· how to keep employees satisfied and productive· how to help employees feel valued, respected, appreciated, developed and cared for· an entirely new model of leadership that is needed to match up to the needs and motivations of 21st century workers· that recent medical and social science discoveries prove it's the heart, not the mind, that drives human motivation and achievementLead from The Heart represents a future where management and employees work towards a common goal and employees are empowered to take ownership of their work. This book shows that when you 'Lead From The Heart', your people will follow.

Book SynopsisAs business reinvents itself at broadband speed, what makes leaders effective has inevitably been transformed. Old assumptions and old modes no longer hold; a new style of leadership that works has emerged amidst the chaos of change. This new leader excels in the art of relationship, the singular expertise which the changing business climate renders indispensable. Excellence is being defined in interpersonal terms as companies have stripped out layers of managers, as corporations merge across national boundaries, and as customers and suppliers redefine the web of connection.Bestselling author Daniel Goleman argues that emotionally intelligent leaders are now ''must-haves'' for business today. But many readers have been left with, So now what do I do? The New Leaders answers that question by laying out the map for transforming leadership in individuals, in teams and organisations.Trade Review'The book is a masterpiece of marketing...

Book SynopsisThe devastating effects of toxic work environments are top news. Everyone seems to understand that healthy organizations nurture flourishing individuals and societies--flourishing that Jesus desires for all of us. How can Christian business and ministry leaders create a positive organizational culture and identity? Justin Irving has spent twenty years studying, teaching, and reflecting on organizational leadership. Drawing wisdom from the Bible, contemporary leadership theory, and the insights of over two hundred executive leaders, Irving provides a theological framework that makes human flourishing the driving motivation for leading organizations well. He helps readers invest in their own growth to become leaders who motivate, inspire, and nurture. But he broadens the view to help readers see how different levels of leadership--the dynamics and interdependence of teams and of the whole organization--work together.
