HEARTFELT LEADERSHIP
Do you and your team members bring out the best in each other? Would your team volunteer to work with you for no pay if they had some way to pay their bills? If the answer is not a resounding “Yes!” to both questions, you’re not likely destined for the C-suite in a “Best Place to Work”. But don’t despair. If you’ve ever said to yourself, “there has got to be a better way”, the good news is, there is!
Heartfelt Leadership is a must-read for MBAs, millennials and anyone aspiring to the top of the ladder. In it, Deb Boelkes and Dr. Mark Goulston explore and explain what it takes to inspire, create and lead a "Best Place to Work" organization, the kind of environment where people feel appreciated and respected; where everyone gives their best efforts; where amazing results are consistently achieved; and where hardly anyone would want to leave.
An insightfully uplifting read, this book is brimming with wide-ranging conversations with a dozen role model heartfelt leaders from business and the military, leaders who throughout their careers have been so passionate about their missions and their teams, some even did volunteer to work for no pay. You’ll hear their perspectives on how and why the caring style of leadership they practice is not only good for business, it’s the very best way to lead for anyone who wants to attain astonishingly magnificent outcomes. Best of all, not only will you find real usable insights and action steps on how to become the kind of inspiring leader everyone wants to work for, you’ll discover sure-fire formulas for putting your career and your organization on the fast track to success.
“Heartfelt leaders come from all walks of life. They are as likely to have had bad role models as good ones. Each has their own unique personal style. They can be found in just about any industry, in any size company, and at any level on the organization chart. The one common trait they all seem to share is the earlier in life they became heartfelt leaders, the faster they and their organizations achieved insane WOW factor success.”
Reviews
Deb Boelkes’ HEARTFELT LEADERSHIP is a must read for leaders and managers who want to produce both great results and great human satisfaction. I’ve said for years that effective leadership is an inside-out process. As Deb emphasizes, it starts with your heart and your answer to the question “Are you here to serve or be served?” Thanks Deb for helping leaders create a serving workplace that their people will think is the best ever.The One Minute Manager and
