In a work environment where micromanagement, devaluing of workers, and even bullying run rampant, it’s no wonder professionals today are more disengaged than ever. They do not feel their perspectives are being heard or their expertise valued, leading to a slow erosion of organizational culture, which only contributes to more disengagement. It’s a vicious circle, and it’s causing negative impacts on organizations of all kinds, from stifled innovation to costly turnover to loss of customer and social confidence. So, who is responsible for fixing it? The leaders, of course! With deep insights drawn from his 53-year career as a healthcare executive and leadership consultant, Dr. Roger A. Gerard explains how leaders can bring passion and drive back to their demotivated professionals using time-tested approaches such as: • Empathetic listening, with an expectation that their opinions will be influenced by their employees. • Respecting the autonomy of their professionals to follow their intuition. • Providing the tools, resources, and guidance professionals need to achieve their most ambitious dreams. As a leader, do you have the courage to confront the challenges in your organization—and the compassion to respect and recognize the professionals who work in it?

Across all industries and levels of organizations, one key leadership trait inspires and motivates more than any other: hospitality. We have all encountered inspirational leaders who've helped us, taught us, encouraged us, pushed us to get outside our comfort zones, or motivated us to become the best version of ourselves. What is it about their leadership styles that inspires us to do more for our team and our personal and professional growth? Turns out, we admire these leaders for the same reasons we love our favorite hotels, resorts, restaurants, or bars: How they make us feel is essential. Members of today's workforce—especially millennials and Gen Z—are looking for inspiring environments and work that truly fulfills them. Before anyone is compelled to do anything they first must feel. Speaker, consultant, and hospitality industry veteran Taylor Scott knows that the most effective leaders approach their roles with heart, emotionally connecting with their team members before attempting to manage them. Scott draws from his two decades in leadership roles at respected hotels, resorts, and restaurants. He distills the principles of gracious hospitality, translating them into actionable leadership lessons which apply in any industry, such as: • How making people feel welcome fosters loyalty and keeps workers engaged with an organization's purpose • How serving people with empathy and compassion sparks workers' highest productivity • How making people feel comfortable encourages exploration, curiosity, and discovery while inviting everyone to lean into their creativity • How making people feel significant drives them to deliver their best work He also shares specific, practical steps you can take to put these principles into action. Scott shows how to connect, serve, engage, coach, and inspire your peers, teams, and even your own leaders. Lead with Hospitality is a call to action to connect with people on a human level which ultimately inspires teams, organizations, and companies to go to the next level.

Explore a new and effective method for seizing opportunity in the face of uncertainty In Provoke: How Leaders Shape the Future by Overcoming Fatal Human Flaws, renowned strategy consultants and best-selling authors Geoff Tuff and Steven Goldbach deliver an insightful exploration of how people tend to act tentatively in the face of uncertainty and provide the tools we need to do things differently. Tuff and Goldbach offer up a compelling argument for the proposition that taking a "wait and see" approach is the exact opposite of what helps visionary leaders change the world. Drawing on principles from business and behavioral economics, the book shows readers from all walks of life how to provoke action as a mechanism to advance. In this book you’ll discover: An overview of the assortment of cognitive biases which tend to restrain and distort leadership decision making in the face of uncertainty How to recognize the 'phase change' that occurs when an uncertainty resolves from being a question of "if" to being a matter of "when" Five different models of provocation which can be used alone or in combination to anticipate, drive through and exit that phase change in a way that creates the future you desire How true "provocateurs" shake the foundations of their industries, firms, sectors, and governments by overcoming their need for certainty before action Perfect for leaders or aspiring leaders in all walks of life where uncertainty abounds—which is to say, almost everywhere —Provoke will become your go-to guide to overcoming those natural human instincts that keep us frozen in place and prevent us from seizing our opportunities.
