Leadership and the Art of Struggle
How Great Leaders Grow Through Challenge and Adversity
Berrett-Koehler, 2013
Aperçu
Can mindfulness bring leaders inner peace and success?
Recommendation
Steven Snyder, former general manager of Microsoft, interviewed 93 leaders in the “military, government, banking, the theater” and other fields to discover how they cope with change and master “the art of struggle.” He synthesizes their candid responses into a program that leaders at any level can use to examine their spiritual and psychological challenges. His regimen can help you learn valuable lessons about yourself, so you can tap into your true nature to become the best leader you can be. Despite a certain gee-whiz tone and some reductive treatment of complex psychological issues, getAbstract recommends Snyder’s methods to all leaders – or those who seek to lead – and to readers who feel that greater self-understanding and insight will help them do their best work.
