The Emotionally Strong Leader

Meer over het boek

This book offers leaders in various sectors a chance to transform their leadership and personal lives by harnessing the power of emotional awareness. By managing their emotions and leading with both a strong mind and a kind heart, leaders can connect authentically and communicate effectively with their teams. This fosters an environment of trust and belonging, enhancing engagement and collaboration. However, many leaders overlook the importance of emotions, viewing them as distractions rather than essential elements of leadership. This narrow perspective reduces individuals to mere task managers, ignoring their complexity and potential. Effective leaders understand their own emotions, allowing them to make informed decisions, especially under pressure. They demonstrate humility, engage in meaningful conversations, and acknowledge their mistakes. Carolyn Stern presents a six-step self-coaching model, developed from her extensive experience and emotional intelligence courses for universities and corporations. This model helps leaders identify barriers to growth, set personal goals, and harness their motivation, ultimately improving performance and well-being. The insights provided will fundamentally change how readers approach leadership.
