Leading from Your Gut - by John Townsend (Paperback)

About the Book

The author explores the critical role of the leader's internal world, emotions, intuition, creativity, values, self-awareness, and spiritual life, and explains how, when the internal world is paired with external data and research, these translate into organizational success.

Book Synopsis

Leading from Your Gut will help emerging and experienced leaders alike to hone their intuition and become the leader they were meant to be.

As a leader, your decisions are critical. They have a significant effect on you and everyone around you. But the effective leader needs to have more than just logic, facts, and financials to help make the best choices. Leaders also must access their own intuition, that gut feeling inside.

In Leading from Your Gut, you'll learn how leaders excel not just through external competencies and skills but by drawing on their internal world and personal experience. You'll explore how to harness the power of your values, thoughts, emotions, and relationships to better meet the complex demands of leadership.

As you apply Townsend's principles, you will see great results in your leadership. But more importantly, you'll experience the kind of personal transformation that will enable you to lead as a whole person.

This book is the revised edition of Leadership Beyond Reason.
