Grounded (ePub)

A provocative, personal approach to leadership based on in-depth
research with hundreds of executives around the world

Confronted by disruptive change and economic turbulence, many of
today's leaders find themselves ill-equipped to manage the hazards
they now face. They must contend with chronic uncertainty, cynical
employees, and personal burnout. Most are poorly served by the
prevailing paradigm that obsessively focuses on what we do to
produce short-term results while sabotaging who we are as healthy
human beings. Few have seen alternatives, until now.

Grounded proposes a new approach that's designed for
actual humans who must grapple with these forces. This new paradigm
speaks to our better selves. Based on the author's Healthy Leader
model, it focuses on the six personal dimensions that
fuel--and refuel--the world's top leaders: physical,
emotional, intellectual, social, vocational, and spiritual
health.

The book argues that leaders at every level can be more
self-aware, develop their untapped potential, and drive
significantly better results--for themselves, their teams, and
their organizations.

* Shows readers how to build a personal leadership model that
works with their values, goals and capabilities

* Features fresh stories from leaders in a variety of
organizations including the New York Fire Department,
PricewaterhouseCoopers, The Lego Group, and Medstar Health

* Gives leaders practical tools to face their toughest challenges
with greater skill, confidence, and impact

By developing themselves and mastering the six dimensions,
readers can gain the stamina and strength to not only weather tough
times but to achieve much, much more.
