Being

Descriere

We can often become governed by our 'to do' lists and forget that we are human 'beings', not human 'doings'. Doing is important, but it is not why we exist. In a world characterized by complexity, ambiguity, disruption and globalization the quality of our being will determine the quality of our experience. This is true in all walks of life but has heightened significance in the leadership domain.

As a leader, the risk of being dominated by 'doing' can cause you to lose touch with the essential qualities required to provide great leadership. In The Power of Being, popular author and leadership coach Ben Renshaw blends six principles with compelling calls to action. Drawing upon engaging stories and rich insight from interviewing C-suite leaders across a range of sectors, the author reveals the few core truths required to lead in an age of fast change.Ben Renshaw
