Publisher's Synopsis
Highly Committed, Frustrated People Speak Up Who would have thought that so many people would be this enthusiastic about confronting behavioral blind spots? But then it makes a great deal of sense. Today's organizations are filled with highly committed, frustrated people who are ready and willing to take their company to a new level of performance but do not know how. When Fearless Leadership was first released, we received an outpouring of feedback from people at all levels in organizations from managers, staff, CEOs, senior leaders, and small business owners. "This book describes my company and our challenges to a tee," they told us. "Something has been holding us back. With the help of the book, we can now identify our blind spots and do something about them." The Fearless Leadership Workbook & Guide is the result of many passionate people who are speaking up and taking the lid off what is possible in their organizations. We want to acknowledge the many contributions of our committed partners from SaskTel, Rabo AgriFinance, Finning International, CommerceHub, and De Beers. Special thanks go to Kerry Powell and Allison Wills for their outstanding instructional development and contributions to this workbook. We also want to extend our sincere appreciation and gratitude to the hundreds of fearless leaders who have shared their success stories. We have included many of them in this workbook under the heading "learning from others." Their stories strike a chord and inspire us to be fearless. They remind us that even when we are frustrated and resigned, we can make change happen by changing ourselves. You are not alone in the fearless leadership quest. There are thousands of people around the globe who are confronting their blind spots and applying the fearless leadership behavioral strategies and tools.
