Total Leadership

Total Leadership: Be a Better Leader, Have a Richer Life

Now more than ever, your success as a leader isn’t just about being a great business person. You’ve got to be a great person, performing well in all domains of your life — your work, your home, your community, and your private self.

That’s a tall order. The good news is that, contrary to conventional wisdom about “balance,” you don’t have to assume that these domains compete in a zero-sum game. Total Leadership is a game-changing blueprint for how to perform well as a leader not by trading off one domain for another, but by finding mutual value among all four. Stew Friedman shows you how to achieve these “four-way wins” as a leader who can:

Be real: Act with authenticity by clarifying what’s important
Be whole: Act with integrity by respecting the whole person
Be innovative: Act with creativity by experimenting to find new solutions

With engaging examples and clear instruction, Friedman provides more than thirty hands-on tools for using these proven principles to produce stronger business results, find clearer purpose in what you do, feel more connected to the people who matter most, and generate sustainable change.

Most leadership development books focus only on your professional skills, while books about personal growth concentrate on your needs beyond work. Total Leadership is different. It’s a unique and long-awaited resource that shows how to win in all domains of life.

Self Improvement

Essential to your development as a leader is ongoing self-improvement, and in particular sharpening the intellect. An above average memory is also critical to success in leadership. While genetics, upbringing and education all played a part in shaping the capacity of your brain now, the great news is that the mind can be improved. There is a Self-Improvement Library that provides tools to help improve your brain power, memory, creativity and reading speed. It also includes resources on time management, stress management and public speaking.
