<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Each short chapter offers a simple, practical step for building your Emotional Courage muscle, flexing it, watching it grow stronger. By the end of the book, readers will be better able to speak up when others are silent; remain steadfast, grounded, and measured in the face of uncertainty; respond productively to political opposition -- maybe even bad-faith backstabbing -- without getting sidetracked, distracted, or losing focus; and stay in the discomfort of a colleague's anger without shutting off or becoming defensive"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>The <i>Wall Street Journal</i> bestselling author of <i>18 Minutes</i> unlocks the secrets of highly successful leaders and pinpoints the missing ingredient that makes all the difference</b></p> <p>You have the opportunity to lead: to show up with confidence, connected to others, and committed to a purpose in a way that inspires others to follow. Maybe it's in your workplace, or in your relationships, or simply in your own life. But great leadership--leadership that aligns teams, inspires action, and achieves results--is hard. And what makes it hard isn't theoretical, it's practical. It's not about knowing what to say or do. It's about whether you're willing to experience the discomfort, risk, and uncertainty of saying or doing it. In other words, the most critical challenge of leadership is emotional courage. If you are willing to feel everything, you can do anything.</p> <p><i>Leading with Emotional Courage, </i>based on the author's popular blogs for Harvard Business Review, provides practical, real-world advice for building your emotional courage muscle. Each short, easy to read chapter details a distinct step in this emotional "workout," giving you grounded advice for handling the difficult situations without sacrificing professional ground. By building the courage to say the necessary but difficult things, you become a stronger leader and leave the "should'ves" behind.</p> <p>Theoretically, leadership is straightforward, but how many people <i>actually lead</i>? The gap between theory and practice is huge. Emotional courage is what bridges that gap. It's what sets great leaders apart from the rest. It gets results. It cuts through the distractions, the noise, and the politics to solve problems and get things done. This book is packed with actionable steps you can take to start building these skills now.</p> <ul> <li>Have the courage to speak up when others remain silent</li> <li>Be stable and grounded in the face of uncertainty</li> <li>Respond productively to opposition without getting distracted</li> <li>Weather others' anger without shutting down or getting defensive</li> </ul> <p><i>Leading with Emotional Courage</i> coaches you to build your emotional courage, exercise it effectively, and create an environment in which people around you take accountability to get hard things done.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>PRAISE FOR<br> LEADING WITH EMOTIONAL COURAGE <p>"<i>Leading with Emotional Courage</i> is a trailblazing idea, inspirational manifesto and eminently achievable manual.
