Radical Humility: Be a Badass Leader and a Good HumanUrs Koenig
When veteran executive coach, professor, and ultraendurance champion Urs Koenig signed up to be a NATO peacekeeping commander and United Nations peacekeeper in his fifties, he thought he knew a thing or two about leadership.
What he discovered was a new way of thinking that replaces the top-down, "heroic" leadership of the past with a more human-centered approach that views humility as a strength and key to achieving goals in today's complex world.
The deeply researched Radical Humility framework centers on making five Shifts that will help you elevate your leadership from Heroic (THEN) to Humble (NOW). Drive with Purpose: Move Your Career from Success to SignificanceBruce Waller
Often, when we think about what makes a career significant, we imagine monumental roles—like a US President, an astronaut, a surgeon, or a Nobel Peace Prize laureate. But true significance isn't confined to these towering heights. Significance lies in the small actions that swell into great impacts. It's woven through the fabric of our everyday lives. This book delves into the transformative journey from pursuing traditional career success to seeking deeper significance in one’s professional life. Learn more about practical strategies for developing a purpose-driven mindset, reassessing your career path, and fostering authentic relationships through intentional networking and leadership. This book will inspire you to pursue a career path of significance. You’re Absolutely Worth ItVelera Wilson
In her book, You’re Absolutely Worth It: Release Self-Doubt, Embrace Confidence, and Own Your Yes, Velera Wilson gives readers the steps and fuel to address the counter-productive internal chatter and stop second-guessing themselves, so they
can boldly ask for, and go after, what they really want in their career, business, and everyday life. What We Have Been Reading |
