Announcing Our New Book: Leading Yourself

Here’s a tough truth: If you’re frustrated with your organization, your job, your coworkers, or your boss, you’re the one paying the price. Not them.

You’re the one who’s not going to do your best work, you’re the one who is going to wake up in a bad mood, and you’re the one whose career will suffer. The economy is weird, your boss is annoying, and you have too much to do. Yet, you’re not powerless.

You deserve to feel purpose at work. You deserve to have your expertise valued, to have opportunities to grow, and to work with people you enjoy (most of the time).

You have the power to give that gift to yourself.

We’re delighted to announce our new book: Leading Yourself.?

This book is about putting the power back in your hands. Even if you work for a fallible boss or imperfect organization, you can change the way you experience your job.

A preview of what’s inside:

This is a book about real-life work, not theoretical musings from an executive think tank. We’re covering things like:

• What do you say to your micromanager on Monday morning? (Chapter 8)
• ?What do you do when all the people on the project you’re leading stop responding to your emails? (Chapter 11)
• How do you keep yourself from going insane through another re-org? (Chapter 3)What do you do if your boss or organization sets unrealistic goals? (Chapter 5)
• How do you prioritize when everything feels urgent? (Chapter 6)
• How can you not be mad every day when you disagree with the direction your organization is taking? (Chapter 9) ?

You’ll find talk tracks, templates, and examples from people at normal jobs inside of normal companies.?
