What if you could improve your performance in the areas that seem to be most at odds with each otherâwork and life beyond workâat the same time? Most of us assume it canât be done. But contrary to the conventional wisdom, the different domains of our lives donât have to compete in a zero-sum game. However, managing them takes real leadership skill.
Adapted from author Stew Friedmanâs popular Wharton School course, Total Leadership will help you identify your core valuesâwhatâs fundamentally important to youâand make them come alive in your everyday actions at work, at home, in your community, and within yourself. By improving these areas of life simultaneously, youâll get more done with less stress.
Friedmanâs approach has been pressure-tested by years of working with people at every level of experience, in companies large and small. His step-by-step instruction, engaging examples, and more than thirty hands-on tools will help you create sustainable change and achieve higher levels of performance in all parts of your life. Total Leadership offers a compelling new framework that enables you to:
âą Be real: Act with authenticity by clarifying whatâs important
âą Be whole: Act with integrity by respecting the whole person
âą Be innovative: Act with creativity by experimenting to find new solutions
Gain greater clarity of purpose, accomplish more at work, and feel more connected to the people and causes that matter most to you. Leadership canâand indeed mustâbe learned. But first youâve got to choose to lead. If youâre going to make a difference, thinking of yourself as a leader will make it more likely that your legacyânot your fantasy, but the real impact of your life, today and in the long runâis the one you really want.
