never been more important. Creating a world-class team and
environment where people can do their best work is the number-one
job of a leader, and more than ever leaders are being asked to
elevate team performance through innovative leadership. The Mind of
the Leader shares important insights and perspectives and lays a
path for how you make this happen."Loren I. Shuster, Chief People
Officer, the LEGO Group--
"The Mind of the Leader goes beyond the hyperbole associated with
mindfulness today and provides real-world examples from leading
executives that can not only provide inspiration to the reader but
outline a path toward the cultivation of such critical leadership
qualities as selflessness and compassion. Creating the context for
others to find meaning, purpose, and a sense of connectedness has
become the hallmark of a productive and engaged
organization."Arianna Huffington, founder and CEO, Thrive
Global--
"In The Mind of the Leader, Hougaard and Carter draw on years of
research to show that the traditional, top-down style of leadership
doesn't work anymore. The successful leaders of the future will be
human-centered, focused as much on growth and the bottom line as on
creating a flourishing and sustainable culture. This book is a
manual of success for leaders in any industry."
