Leadership Hero Code: Seven Principles for Thriving in Today's Workplace (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578588391)

Effective leadership, both individually and collectively, is highly correlated with positive business performance and greater levels of employee engagement. That's not breaking news, but have you recently - or ever - taken the time to examine your own leadership effectiveness?

High-performing leaders today deplete two precious commodities - energy and time - to deliver on constantly changing corporate initiatives, address unexpected fire drills, and negotiate the political landscape. Some may view this as heroics, but the pace and output levels aren't sustainable.

The time is now for a new way of doing business as usual.

Some leaders cope with workplace stress by doubling-down (complying - work harder and longer), some disengage (protecting - enter sarcasm and silos), while others become overly directive and autocratic (controlling - and perfection) in an effort to control the chaos. While these coping mechanisms can work in the short term, they have significant consequences on vitality and physical health as well as mental and emotional health.

There is a different way.

You will discover how to recalibrate your leadership and quality of life - and be able to create change, even in the most conservative environments. Leadership Hero Code will support you as you journey forward to be your own kind of hero.
