Brilliant Glimpses of the Why and the How To of Modern Leadership in the 2020sWhen 2022 dawned, it was clear to professionals of all types that the world had shifted on its axis - not, this time, because of another viral pandemic (i.e., not with the novel crises and unexpected business shutdowns we’d endured in 2020-2021), but with the hereafter realities of a world forever changed by the lessons, traumas, innovations, and culture shifts of the era we’d just survived. Now what? Many of the answers to modern leaders’ most pressing new questions lie in the pages of HOPE for Leaders in the 2020s, the second volume in The HOPE for Leaders Unabridged Series. Open your mind to the possibility of building and adapting your leadership skills for a new era – and for a workforce with newly articulated needs – by digging deep into the stories, tips, frameworks, and practical exercises of a book that was written for this decade and beyond. In the chapters of HOPE for Leaders in the 2020s, leadership experts Dr. Hope Zoeller and Dr. Joe DeSensi - in collaboration with esteemed book contributors from corporate America and academia - offer new ways to think about and address contemporary business issues, including leadership mindsets, project management, organizational culture, and workplace communications.

Learn how to improve your own skills, and those of your teams, in regard to:

Motivating and connecting with remote workers New metrics of success that measure what truly matters Workplace curiosity and servant leadership Leader self-care during high-stress situations The vital role of followership in our companies and careers Project management practices for effective meetings Creating early-warning systems to head off crisis Organizational adaptation after crisis Never letting a lesson learned be forgotten Harnessing productive worry

In this practical leadership anthology, Zoeller and DeSensi offer a powerful how to get out of the pandemic guidebook for leaders at any level (i.e., executives, managers, individual contributors), with immensely practical, accessible, insightful, and timely ideas for how you can leverage the strengths you honed during the pandemic and mitigate the impact of what didn’t go so well.
