Join the global movement that's making corporations more
people-centric to achieve great results.
The world is facing a global leadership crisis. Seventy-seven percent of
leaders think they do a good job of engaging their people, yet 88
percent of employees say their leaders don't engage enough. There is
also a high level of suffering in the workplace: 35 percent of employees
would forgo a pay raise to see their leaders fired.
This is an enormous waste of human talent--despite the fact that $46
billion is spent each year on leadership development.
Based on extensive research, including assessments of more than 35,000
leaders and interviews with 250 C-level executives, The Mind of the
Leader concludes that organizations and leaders aren't meeting
employees' basic human needs of finding meaning, purpose, connection,
and genuine happiness in their work.
But more than a description of the problem, The Mind of the Leader
offers a radical, yet practical, solution. To solve the leadership
crisis, organizations need to put people at the center of their
strategy. They need to develop managers and executives who lead with
three core mental qualities: mindfulness, selflessness, and
compassion.
Using real-world inspirational examples from Marriott, Accenture,
McKinsey & Company, LinkedIn, and many more, The Mind of the Leader
shows how this new kind of leadership turns conventional leadership
thinking upside down. It represents a radical redefinition of what it
takes to be an effective leader--and a practical, hard-nosed solution to
every organization's engagement and execution problems.
