Join the global movement that's making corporations more people-centric to achieve great results.
The world is facing a global leadership crisis. Seventy-seven percent of leaders think they do a good job of engaging their people, yet 88 percent of employees say their leaders don't engage enough. There is also a high level of suffering in the workplace: 35 percent of employees would forgo a pay raise to see their leaders fired. This is an enormous waste of human talent - despite the fact that $46 billion is spent each year on leadership development.
Based on extensive research, including assessments of more than 35,000 leaders and interviews with 250 C-level executives, The Mind of the Leader concludes that organizations and leaders aren't meeting employees' basic human needs of finding meaning, purpose, connection, and genuine happiness in their work.
But more than a description of the problem, The Mind of the Leader offers a radical, yet practical, solution. To solve the leadership crisis, organizations need to put people at the center of their strategy. They need to develop managers and executives who lead with three core mental qualities: mindfulness, selflessness, and compassion.
Using real-world inspirational examples from Marriott, Accenture, McKinsey & Company, LinkedIn, and many more, The Mind of the Leader shows how this new kind of leadership turns conventional leadership thinking upside down. It represents a radical redefinition of what it takes to be an effective leader - and a practical, hard-nosed solution to every organization's engagement and execution problems.

Die beiden Autoren Rasmus Hougaard und Jacqueline Carter untermauern mit vielen, internationalen und sehr interessanten Beispielen in ihrer großartigen Leadership Fibel, wie zentral People-Centricity für Organisationen in unsere komplexe und unberechenbare Zukunft sein wird. Sie bauen ihre Theorie rund um "Leadership" und "Awareness" konzentrisch auf. Im Zentrum steht mit "Understand and Lead Yourself" das eigenen Verständnis und Verhalten zu Mindfulness, Selflessness und Being Compassionate. In der mittleren und zweiten Zwiebelschale finden wir "Understand and Lead Your People", in der unser Verständnis und Verhalten als Leader im Umgang mit anderen individuellen Menschen, Mitarbeiter und beleuchtet wird. In der dritten und äußersten Schale beschäftigen wir uns mit "Understand and Lead Your Organisation" und auch hier beziehen wir uns wieder auf die drei zentralen Erfolgsfaktoren Mindfulness, Selflessness und Being Compassionate.
Jedes Kapitel erklärt, begleitet von smarten Beispielen unterschiedlicher internationaler Industrien und schlägt Training und Reflexion mit Quick Tips vor, die zum Üben anregen. Am wichtigsten ist den Autoren dabei unser Kommittent zur regelmäßigen Übung. Ergänzend dazu wird auch eine Praxis-App angeboten und hier kommt mein einziger Kritikpunkt. Die App stellt nur eines der drei Themen zur freien Verfügung, wollen wir nicht nur Mindfulness sondern auch Selflessness und Being Compassionate üben, werden wir sauber und monatlich zur Kasse gebeten (ohne mich!).
Ansonsten eine 100% Empfehlung für jede/n reflektierte/n Top-Leader!
