And it has pleased me to feel the \u003cbr\u003e vulnerability of the author, which opens ways for both the reader and the \u003cbr\u003e practitioner. Because of the vulnerability and openness of Hylke, he becomes \u003cbr\u003e more of a co-passenger than a coach who tells you how it is. Also, I like the \u003cbr\u003e fact that you have a choice of exercises related to your personal needs at every \u003cbr\u003e given moment.

Taming Your Crocodiles Practices: Daily Reflections \u003cbr\u003e for Leadership Depth is a unique and easy-to-read, practical book on personal \u003cbr\u003e and professional growth. Hylke reinforces key concepts from his first book, \u003cbr\u003e continuously taking the reader out of their comfort zone and posing challenging \u003cbr\u003e questions on how to think differently. In addition, by providing daily tips, he \u003cbr\u003e helps shape positive habits and behaviors, with a growth mindset, all required to \u003cbr\u003e be a great leader. I highly recommend his book for any current or future leader, \u003cbr\u003e as well as for a reader in search of a purposeful and meaningful life.\" \u003cbr\u003e -- Gioji Okuhara, Board Member \u0026amp; CEO, Brazilian consumer goods companies \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Through this simple yet powerful and practical book, I continue to explore \u003cbr\u003e my fears, or crocodiles, and go deeper in myself.

With my busy life and working with world \u003cbr\u003e humanitarian crises, this book helps me to be intentional and to continue \u003cbr\u003e to practice my growth mindset and find that place of peace. The more I \u003cbr\u003e practice leading with my authentic inner self, the more effectively I am able \u003cbr\u003e to support leaders I work with globally.

I found \u003cbr\u003e this space while reading Taming Your Crocodiles Practices: Daily Reflections for \u003cbr\u003e Leadership Depth. The concept of the crocodile and the owl is very relatable and \u003cbr\u003e easy to integrate into a daily practice. I use this as a reminder to stay on the edge \u003cbr\u003e of discovery and wonder, which has opened my eyes to infinite possibilities.\" \u003cbr\u003e --Marci Marra, Partner, Sia Partners \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Taming Your Crocodiles Practices underscores an important point that the academic \u003cbr\u003e literature on leadership has largely overlooked--to wit, that the first step a would be \u003cbr\u003e leader must take in the art of leading an organization is knowing thy self.
