5 Books To

Rejuvenate Your

Leadership This Spring

Alive at Work: The Neuroscience of Helping Your People Love What They Do

In this bold, enlightening book, social psychologist and professor Daniel M. Cable takes leaders into the minds of workers and reveals the surprising secret to restoring their zest for work. Disengagement isn't a motivational problem, it's a biological one. Humans aren't built for routine and repetition. We're designed to crave exploration, experimentation, and learning--in fact, there's a part of our brains, which scientists have coined "the seeking system," that rewards us for taking part in these activities. But the way organizations are run prevents many of us from following our innate impulses. As a result, we shut down. Things need to change. More than ever before, employee creativity and engagement are needed to win. Fortunately, it won't take an extensive overhaul of your organizational culture to get started. With small nudges, you can personally help people reach their fullest potential. Alive at Work reveals:

  • How to encourage people to bring their best selves to work and use their greatest strengths to help your organization flourish
  • How to build creative environments that motivate people to share ideas, work smarter, and embrace change
  • How to enhance people's connection to their work and your customers
  • How to create personalized experiences that help people feel a deeper sense of purpose

Talent Wins: The New Playbook for Putting People First

Turning conventional views on their heads, talent and leadership experts Ram Charan, Dominic Barton, and Dennis Carey provide leaders with a new and different playbook for acquiring, managing, and deploying talent--for today's agile, digital, analytical, technologically driven strategic environment--and for creating the HR function that business needs. Filled with examples of forward-thinking companies that have adopted radical new approaches to talent (such as ADP, Amgen, BlackRock, Blackstone, Haier, ING, Marsh, Tata Communications, Telenor, and Volvo), as well as the juggernauts and the startups of Silicon Valley, this book shows leaders how to bring the rigor that they apply to financial capital to their human capital--elevating HR to the same level as finance in their organizations. Providing deep, expert insight and advice for what needs to change and how to change it, this is the definitive book for reimagining and creating a talent-driven organization that wins.


Mindful Leadership: The A to Z Guide For Stress-Free Leadership

In a world where few can agree on anything, most can agree we live in a stressed-out world.

Mindful Leadership: The A to Z Guide for Stress-free Leadership is a quick answer to this problem. Here you will find:
  • The answer to “What is Mindfulness for leaders?”
  • Mindfulness experiences that do not require a yoga mat
  • Practices to adopt mindfulness as a leadership style
  • Inspiration to choose stress free leadership at work
No matter if you read cover to cover, do the practices each day, or take time to color-in each mandala, this book will have you moving from a mindfulness skeptic to mindful success.

Living your Leadership: Grow Intentionally, Thrive with Integrity, and Serve Humbly

Living Your Leadership starts with self-leadership to discover, understand, and improve yourself. Only then can you shift your focus to being a transformational leader focused on servant leadership. Chris Ewing, a leadership consultant and educator who formerly served as an officer in the U.S. Air Force, shares a proven approach to developing leadership in a deliberate and structured fashion. He demonstrates how to develop your leadership style to match authentic servant leadership through individual discipline and critical reflection of character. Moreover, he explores how to regulate behavior and explains why its important to move from an extrinsic motivational orientation toward a more intrinsic one. Other topics include the difference between management and leadership and how to lead with empathy, authenticity, control, and autonomy. Just as important, you'll learn how to avoid stumbling blocks that prevent many from becoming leaders. If you want to be an effective leader, you must be the kind of person that people want to follow. Become that person with the insights and lessons in this book.

Resilient: How to Grow an Unshakable Core of Calm, Strength, and Happiness

These days it’s hard to count on the world outside. So it’s vital to grow strengths inside like grit, gratitude, and compassion—the key to resilience, and to lasting well-being in a changing world. True resilience is much more than enduring terrible conditions. We need resilience every day to raise a family, work at a job, cope with stress, deal with health problems, navigate issues with others, heal from old pain, and simply keep on going. With his trademark blend of neuroscience, mindfulness, and positive psychology, New York Times bestselling author Dr. Rick Hanson shows you how to develop twelve vital inner strengths hardwired into your own nervous system. Then no matter what life throws at you, you’ll be able to feel less stressed, pursue opportunities with confidence, and stay calm and centered in the face of adversity. This practical guide is full of concrete suggestions, experiential practices, personal examples, and insights into the brain. It includes effective ways to interact with others and to repair and deepen important relationships.
