"Must professional accomplishments come at the expense of having a full life? Not according to Stewart D. Friedman. He identifies critical skills for leading an authentic and balanced life, and illustrates them through the compelling stories of six remarkable high-profile people. He also shows how to develop and apply each skill through a series of exercises anyone can use. Each leader showcased -- Bruce Springsteen, Michelle Obama, Sheryl Sandberg, Tom Tierney, Eric Greitens, and Julie Foudy -- exemplifies a specific set of skills for achieving greater harmony between work and life. Discrete skills -- for being real, being whole, and being innovative -- that reduce conflict. The creative ways these six very different leaders pursue authenticity and harmony every day. Exercises for practicing each skill, along with actionable ideas curated from research in organizational psychology and related fields, for applying them. The changes people need to make to lead more balanced lives and to become better leaders"--Provided by publisher.
