"The definitive book on modern leadership. Leadership is simply a series of moments, and every moment gives you the opportunity to leave a positive legacy for those you lead. In this ground-breaking book, award-winning leadership expert and business leader Kirstin Ferguson has written a much-needed practical guide for every modern leader. Whether you are the head of one of the largest companies in the world, supervising a small team or guiding your family, it will be your ability to integrate your head and your heart that will influence your success in leading others and navigating our complex world. Combining studies from leading thinkers in the field with her own research and more than three decades of personal experience, Kirstin explains the eight key attributes of a head and heart leader, and provides you with the tools to measure your own approach. Along the way, she shares her conversations with modern leaders from a broad range of backgrounds whose stories will surprise you, challenge your thinking and inspire you to be the type of leader the world needs today." - Back cover. |
