Overview

Leading successfully in a world full of disruption means building more than technical skills. Yes, you must deliver results, but to run a successful business you must learn to lead with your heart. Being vulnerable with your staff is intimidating, but when connecting with people not only will you grow as a leader and a person, but your business will grow as well.

Bringing your authentic self to your leadership takes courage and commitment, but you reap profound benefits from heart-led generous acts. This book presents seven ways to give of yourself for everyone's gain: 1. Generous Communication: Be real to build deep connections; 2. Generous Listening: Be sincerely curious about another's perspective; 3. Generous Inclusion: Be inclusive to invite collaboration and show respect; 4. The Generous Ally: Take chances to make chances for others; 5. Generous Development: Validate strengths and success, identify expansive opportunities; 6. Generous Moments: Make small acts of acknowledgment in important moments to make a big impact; and 7. Give up the Mask: Be emotionally accessible with authenticity and vulnerability.

As you build your skills with the guidance from this trusted reference, success will spread from your generosity to the people you work with, to your organization, to your own career, and even society.
