Are you ready to be a great leader? We strive to be smart leaders and to make the best decisions. And yet, for decades our belief that leaders must "check their hearts at the door" when they come to work has hindered our ability to do just that. There is overwhelming research that it is our hearts and emotions - not just our intellect - that gives us the winning edge. As a leader... How are your communicating your vision and inspiring others to find theirs? What can you do to develop the trusting, honest dialogue that leads to better relationships? How are you managing politics? Are you getting the most leverage out of team conflict? How can you create the atmosphere of accountability it takes to create and maintain top performing individuals and teams? What would your organization be with more productivity and more inclusion? How do you grow as a leader? We all play leadership roles in many aspects of our lives - at work, at home, in the community, with our friends and even with ourselves. Anytime we turn around and others are following, listening, thinking or doing based on our influence, we are leading. We strive to be smart leaders, to think smart and to make the best decisions. Yet, we have underused the enormous power of the heart to improve our decisions, our productivity and our leadership. While we have worked hard to become enlightened leaders, little did we know the real secret is becoming En-Heartened Leaders! There is no longer any doubt that it is both head and heart that define success. Head is the what - strategies, goals, objectives, plans, problems and tasks. Heart is the why - why we are doing what we do and how we bring people with us. The missing piece, the Heart, is the inspiring vision, values and mission. More than 75% of employees believe positive feedback to be their biggest motivator, while less than 25% of leaders report providing it regularly. Learn how to use your heart to harness the brilliance of your people and drive extraordinary performance. This easy-to-read handbook provides proven strategies you can put to work today to "Add a Little Heart to Your Smarts." Heartitude Works offers the inspiration and the action plan to accelerate your leadership success and create remarkable results. InnovationResilienceAccountability PassionCommitmentCourage
