Overview

Discover the power of whole and integrated leadership We tend to think of our lives as being split between the professional and the personal-believing that in order to lead successfully, we must separate our roles at work and at home. But managing two divided identities exhausts us and derails our ability to be effective, skillful leaders in all the spheres we inhabit. In this ground-breaking book, therapist, consultant, coach, and family enterprise advisor Deena Chochinov shows you how to integrate your professional and personal selves to show up whole, in both places. Drawing on her more than thirty years of experience working with families, private companies, public organizations, and family businesses, Chochinov uses client and patient case studies, lessons, and activities to help you strengthen your leadership. You'll learn the eight essential qualities of whole and integrated leadership, and how to develop and apply them for greater impact-whether you're leading staff, directing a board, working with family members, or parenting children. As you make the paradigm shift to whole-person leadership, you'll experience the joys of psychological congruence and stability, and a fuller integration of your undivided, messy, textured, complex, and beautifully appointed self. After all, leadership isn't just about what you do-it's about how you show up. You can have success at work and harmony at home . . . being the exact same person.
