"You can be the leader you want to be--today and every day. Do you find yourself wishing you had more hours in the day? Do you want to do more, yet feel you just can't add another thing to your plate without being overwhelmed by stress or compromising your health, relationships, and integrity? No doubt, as a leader, there are some days when you feel the flow. You're able to make a difference and achieve big goals. You feel confident and energized. On days like this, you're your best self--the leader you want to be. But on other days, you go down a different, negative path, with pressures and doubts making you feel like a lesser version of yourself. How can you be the leader you want to be, every day? The answer is more than a time-management system or a silver-bullet solution for changing your routines. Leadership expert and coach Amy Jen Su's powerful new book helps readers discover that the answer lies within. By focusing in specific ways on five key leadership elements--Purpose, Process, People, Presence, and Peace--you can increase your time, capacity, energy, and ultimately your impact, with less stress and more equanimity. Drawing on rich and instructive stories of clients, leaders, artists, and athletes, as well as on research by experts, the author brings together the best of both Western management thinking and Eastern philosophy to provide a holistic yet hands-on approach. The Leader You Want to Be is the indispensable guide to helping you tap into and expand your leadership capacity so that you can sustain your optimal level of performance and thrive as a leader"--
Su, who is associated with an executive coaching and leadership development firm, outlines five principles for effective leadership that use a whole-person approach that incorporates a leader’s external and internal worlds, including results, progress, and output along with drivers, motivations, and influences, to be an effective leader who is thriving and sustainable. The approach is grounded in self-awareness, self-care, and personal agency. She explains the importance of purpose and remaining grounded in passions and contributions; the role of process and relying on daily practices and routines that honor natural energy rhythms, enhance performance, save time, help leaders restore themselves, and keep them on point; working with people, raising the game of others at work and at home, and increasing resilience with healthier boundaries and rules of engagement; the role of presence, through strengthening the capacity to pause between stimulus and response, so that matters of effectiveness and impact drive decisions and actions, rather than old habits or knee-jerk impulses; and the importance of peace and learning to trust one’s capacities to evolve, adapt, and respond to anything and lead from a place of acceptance, gratitude, and trust, rather than stress, striving, and ego protection. She discusses each principle, as well as how to use them to develop other leaders, teams, and organizations. She incorporates leadership stories, frameworks, tools, tips, ideas, and exercises.
