Catapulting Change: Mindful Leadership To Launch Organizations and People (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780228829669)

Catapulting Change identifies a myriad of opportunities left on the table far too often as similar patterns and trends emerge exposing gaps in leadership that systematically disarm individual talent, passion, and drive from those who possess these qualities in abundance. Leaders stunt their organizations by converting individuals desirous of delivering greatness into individuals stripped of their spirit and passion, reducing them to deliver "just enough" to meet the minimum requirements of the jobs but never more. They are hard-boiled down to mediocrity.

Catapulting Change delves into the grander themes of Leadership, Communication, Change Management, Incentive Programs, and more, to simultaneously launch organizations and people. While these appear to be largely aimed at organizations, they are vital for those travelling down the entrepreneurial path and for those seeking to enhance their businesses. The book delivers warning shots, contemplations, and experiences about the fine balance between managing people and success. Along with these major concepts, the book sheds light on tangible "little things" that will drum up reader frustration because of their relevancy and poignancy. It dispenses with the cliché, but offers tactics to help navigate through organizations while provoking thought to overcome and modify unnecessary trends. It calls attention to the power and might of details as they are often discounted as insignificant variables in a formula of quintessential leadership that drives a culture of consensus, collaboration, and coordination. There is a strong demand for communication, execution, and the like, but often organizations fall quite short of expectations. Attrition of talent is the direct result as people feel unappreciated, undervalued, and not respected.
