THE UNLOCKED LEADER


The Unlocked Leader is a very timely book for all leaders who are seeking to deal with a particularly challenging environment, as well as for executive coaches supporting these leaders.
The most effective leaders are “human leaders:” leading with empathy, vulnerability, and authenticity. But many still adhere to the outdated myth that leaders must be “superhero leaders: infallible, unflappable, and fearless.” Tragically, their innate ability to inspire remains locked within, blunting their impact.
THE HEART OF BUSINESS
The Heart of Business is a timely guide for leaders ready to abandon old paradigms and lead with purpose and humanity. It shows how we can reinvent capitalism so that it contributes to a sustainable future.
