Executive Being - by Katherine Lazaruk (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Executive Presence is Dead, Now What?

All your life you've followed the 'rules' of executive presence and leadership to get where you are and suddenly, they're just not working the way they used to. The business world is clamoring for authentic leadership, but you don't know what to share, what to wear or how to show up as your 'whole self' or for people bringing their 'whole selves' to work. Executive Being: Humanizing Business One Leader at a Time has the answers.

Here's what's in it for you:

• Why we need a different kind of leader now
• How authentic leadership outpaces stale rules of executive presence every time
• Seven succinct practices on how to BE a good leader for a feeling world
• Seven special appendices for my very experienced leaders

If you're finding it's not quite as easy to lead as it was before, or you're new to leadership, it's time to try something different and to lead in a way that's true to you, for the world.
