How The World's Best Companies Develop Complete Leaders.
Companies want leaders who can "lead from the front": take a clear position, create meaningful relationships, and "know themselves" while simultaneously able to build businesses. Employees want leaders who are authentic and inspire trust - those who set high standards and respect their uniqueness. The authors argue that traditional leadership development focuses too much on the "head" and that it's critical for individuals and companies to identify and integrate other capabilities into the development of leaders. 'Head, Heart and Guts' identifies the three most important leadership capabilities and how to put them into action. To be most effective, leaders must be able to implement, empathize, and take risks, all the time.
