Publisher's Summary:
The book that redefines leadership for our time - inspired by personal interviews with Jack Welch, Bill Clinton, George Lucas, Madeleine Albright, Pope Francis, and others.
In this insightful book, former director of the World Business Forum Eduardo Braun introduces a new vision of leadership: the new CEO - someone who puts people, cultures, and emotions first. Through thousands of hours of conversations with world-class leaders, Braun has identified five key roles leaders can use to inspire people to strive for greater success and in turn change the world for the better.
With this refreshingly human approach, you'll find it easy to integrate the five traits into your work and your life. The author shares intimate stories and practical life lessons from CEOs like Jack Welch and Tony Hsieh, who trusted their instincts, followed their passions, and shared their visions with others. Leaders at all levels will learn how to make stronger connections that get better results - and create a culture of inspiration and success.

Amazing treasure box of experiences Eduardo is drawing from
Amazing treasure box of experiences Eduardo is drawing from. Having been informed by so many great leaders, he offers so much in this one book.
The essence and wisdom seem so simple.
The question that remains is, why not so many more people lead by it. Maybe they did not read this book yet ;-)
A must read for every leader
This is a fantastic human approach to leadership that can be adopted to everyday life. It puts people and emotions first to achieve excellence in a respectful way while ensuring a high performance culture.
I had such high expectations for this book, but ...
I had such high expectations for this book, but it fell flat with me. The only point the author seemed interested in communicating was that he has interviewed many, many influential leaders.
Excellent focus on developing passionate employees but overly long
DISCLOSURE: I received a free Kindle ebook.
We are, thankfully, moving from a paradigm where employees are no longer to be considered as disposable and abused "resources" but as emotional "team members" that are essential to business success. Braun writes:
"When Napoleon sat down in Paris with his generals around a table to decide how to invade Russia, they were making strategy. But what makes a million French troops march to Moscow? That is culture."
This book is all about culture, about developing employees by caring for them, making them part of the decision-making process, igniting creativity, giving them authority, supporting their decisions, in other words, putting the people first and creating an organization of inspired, loyal, happy employees who understand and execute the business's values.
Braun: "A positive culture is anything that contributes to the development of a sense of purpose, a sense of belonging and community, an atmosphere of commitment and trust, self-esteem, pride, hope, passion, happiness, gratitude, and, in general, any other positive state of mind in your people."
Interspersed throughout the book are quotes from famous business and political leaders, such as Gates, Gorbachev, Clinton, Welch, Kelleher, Hsieh, Branson, and Giuliani.
