ISBN: 9781452535401.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur common belief in business is that the heart has no place in workplace management. In fact, most of us were taught that the heart acts like Kryptonite in leadership: it inherently undermines a managers effectiveness - \u0026amp; lowers productivity \u0026amp; profitability. In this stunning, seminal, groundbreaking \u0026amp; now classic work, however, Mark C. Crowley, provides irrefutable proof that we were wrong. Crowley begins by showing us how traditional leadership practices are failing. Across the globe, employee engagement \u0026amp; job satisfaction scores have fallen to crisis levels. According to sobering Gallup research (insight Crowley was first in the world to report) only 3-in-10 American workers are engaged in their jobs. And not only are these numbers worse in most European \u0026amp; Asian countries, they havent meaningfully improved in nearly two decades. It once was that a job \u0026amp; a paycheck kept workers satisfied \u0026amp; productive. Thanks in part to the COVID pandemic, \u0026amp; a resulting global reset of what matters most to people in their lives, pay today barely makes the list of what inspires people to put their hearts into their work \u0026amp; contribute to their highest capacity. Right before our eyes, human beings have evolved in what they need \u0026amp; want in exchange for work. 21st Century employees are seeking to find purpose, meaning \u0026amp; feelings of significance. What drives their engagement is being made to feel valued, respected, appreciated, developed \u0026amp; cared for. And, as part of the global \"Great Resignation,\" nearly 50 million American workers alone quit their jobs in 2021. What this confirms is that all of us are now wanting fulfilling jobs with managers who advocate for our growth, success \u0026amp; well-being. And we will leave one job for another in order to find it. Crowleys profound insight draws upon recent medical \u0026amp; social science discoveries which prove its the heart, not the mind, that drives human motivation \u0026amp; achievement. Far more often than through rational thinking, feelings \u0026amp; emotions drive human behavior -- what people care about \u0026amp; commit themselves to in our lives. As a result, this new scientific understanding calls for leaders to pay far greater attention to their employees emotional experience at work than we ever have believed necessary. Whats certain now is that traditional leadership practices are failing \u0026amp; whats needed is an entirely new model of leadership to match up to the needs \u0026amp; motivations of COVID \u0026amp; Post-COVID, 21st Century workers. To be absolutely clear, theres nothing soft or weak about the Lead From The Heart philosophy. Instead, it represents the future of workplace management \u0026amp; a roadmap to driving uncommon engagement, productivity \u0026amp; profitability when people around the world are wanting it most. Its the very solution to the \"Great Resignation!\" What this book remarkably proves is that when you \"Lead From The Heart,\" your people will follow... And, they will also excel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Balboa Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45256301838389,"sku":"ByrdShop_145253540X","price":27.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781452535401_bf77c1dd-6b12-4fb4-85fb-ca23416214ab.jpg?v=1779941114","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/lead-from-the-heart-transformational-leadership-for-the-21st-century-9781452535401","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
