Tired of superficial leadership training that doesn't drive real change?
In ranking their top three human-capital priorities, executives say leadership development was included as both a current and a future priority. Peer research shows 89% of executives have experienced symptoms of mental health in the last 12 months-up from 77% in 2021, and rising cost of living and work-life balance are the biggest day-to-day worries for board directors. Traditional leadership development meant to remedy problems like these but are reluctant to address the root causes of why leaders are easily stressed and sometimes behave irrationally. This exists because we often ignore our derailing behaviors or assume we are always on our A-game until it takes a toll on our wellbeing. Then once we notice ourselves floundering, we don't generally seek help until it is too late. That's not leadership growth and development - that's shirking the development.
This book is your easy-to-read guide to experiencing real leadership growth and personal mastery. This is your guide to uprooting those derailing behaviors. This book shows you how to identify some of the deepest, below the surface thoughts, feelings, assumptions, and beliefs restricting your growth and progress - the precondition of behavioral change and leadership development.
