"Ancient Greeks believed that a 'sound mind in a sound body' was one of the virtuous things a person should strive to achieve. Eat to Lead is a key step in Luci's Way-combining the physical and mental readiness that serve as the foundation for modern-day leadership. The accelerating rate of change and the increasing complexity of today's world place stresses on executives and other leaders unmatched in recent- or any- historical flow of events. An effective leader knows to take care of both body and mind, the key tools in maintaining energy and effectiveness. This book offers a lucid and workable way of doing just that. If you look at today's leaders, men and women alike, it is obvious who is healthy and vigorous and who is not. Despite stage-managed appearances and sound bites, long term activity and accomplishments tell the story of who is fit to lead. It could be you."
