Description
THE OLD LEADERSHIP CHARACTERISTICS OF POWER, CONTROL, AND FEAR ARE BECOMING MORE AND MORE OBSOLETE.
Authenticity, compassion, and alignment are the new paths to leadership success. A leader's new power lies in their ability to connect. Whether you're the coach of a sports team, a nonprofit executive, the president of your family's business, or leading a small organization or a Fortune 500 company, the secret sauce lies in your ability to connect.
While leaders might consciously understand that connection is important, they don't necessarily know how or what to do. In The Seismic Shift in Leadership, author Dr. Michelle K. Johnston compiles her years of experience as an executive coach and business professor with the voices of eighteen leaders at large and small organizations across North America, South America, and Europe to empower you to project your authentic leadership style, to show compassion to your team, and to align yourself with your company.

Mukesh G, Reviewer
I got a digital galley of this book via Netgalley and really liked the book, The approach to take real life examples and stories from her clients to enumerate the key points on the shift in the leadership landscape is a really good approach. The stories are relatable and make the reading a fun exercise. By summarising the learning at the end of each chapter and posing a few questions for reflection, the author makes the learning deeper (if we go ahead and reflect on the questions).
Overall, the fundamental concept of connection before leading is not necessarily new, but the way the author has brought it out is new and novel.
Overall, it is a good book to read through, if nothing else but for the stories she presents from her clients.
