The Authors Rewriting the Rules of Leadership
Publication: Forbes
The discourse around what constitutes effective leadership has undergone a seismic shift over the past few years. To think that a decade ago we were telling people “if you have to cry, go outside,” encouraging them to withhold their emotions in a workplace environment and now we’re touting the benefits of empathetic leadership. We went from prioritizing IQ to EQ, and from bragging about our “busy-ness” to striving for work life balance. The corporate ladder has been replaced by the jungle gym, mental health days are among the most coveted workplace benefits and open office floor plans have given way to remote and flexible hybrid models.
Amidst all this change, what does modern day leadership look like? Four authors have new books out this month to offer valuable guidance for founders, leaders, and employees to construct their careers – and lives – in creative ways that work for them. From building an impactful personal brand that extends beyond one's full time job to leveraging anxiety as a tool instead of suppressing it, to approaching one's career as a portfolio and navigating the aftermath of success, these books explore a diverse range of topics that aim to educate and motivate the leaders of tomorrow.
