It also belongs in the libraries of well-being and health practitioners who frequently deal with businesspeople as clients or patients.

<p><b>Transform your leadership strategy with this insightful guide from a world-renowned management thinker, psychoanalyst and executive coach </b></p> <p>Data, knowledge, and information are vital components of effective leadership, but they’re not the only things that managers, executives, coaches, and other leaders need to motivate and inspire their team. Humility, judgment, empathy, and compassion are equally—if not more—important. <p>In <i>Leading Wisely: Becoming a Reflective Leader in Turbulent Times</i>, veteran leadership expert, psychoanalyst, and executive coach Manfred Kets de Vries delivers an eye-opening new approach to leadership—one that focuses on wisdom, reflection, and courage. You’ll learn to emphasize the Golden Rule–treating others the way you wish to be treated–and listen intently and actively. At the same time, you’ll discover how to find happiness and fulfillment in your work as you lead others with compassion and empathy. <p>Throughout, the author has woven in anecdotes and stories from a variety of spiritual and cultural traditions that enrich and expand on the “wisdom equation” he describes in the book. <i>Leading Wisely</i> is an invitation to explore the importance of wisdom as a foundational principle in our lives and leadership strategies, and is essential reading for anyone in a position of leadership or authority.
