Detalles: Reseña del editor Drawing on ten years of experience working with more than 10,000 executives from companies around the globe, Nick Craig takes you on a revelatory journey to understand your purpose, find clarity and focus, and lead with inspiration. When uncovered, purpose becomes our most fundamental guiding principle. Explaining where true purpose lies and demystifying where it doesn't, Craig offers the methods through which anyone can find their purpose. He identifies three pathways that will assess where you are with your purpose and where you should be going. Illustrated by case studies of leaders from all walks of life and industries, Craig shares their unique stories to show how top leaders are energized by their purpose, finding in it the confidence they need to properly evaluate high-stakes decisions and take the optimal action. The best leaders access their purpose especially when facing the unknown, drawing on the source of it to energize themselves. Purpose also redefines their relationships to stress, allowing them to thrive where others just survived, and to postpone momentary, fleeting rewards in favor of leaving a sustained, meaningful impact. Accessible, methodical, and eminently practical, Leading from Purpose offers the comprehensive toolbox with which everyone -- whether a c-suite executive of behind-the-scenes office worker -- can live out their purpose and achieve success on their own terms. If you find yourself in an organization that is struggling to live its purpose, Craig's insights on how to bring your purpose and the organization's purpose into the same room at the same time is game-changing and will redefine your life and career. Críticas One of Girl Boss' "Career Advice Books That'll Help Light a Fire Under Your A**" " After twenty-five years of corporate life coupled with a myriad of learning and development opportunities, I knew there was an underlying driver but could not put my finger on it--that is, until I explored with Nick his work around Purpose. Nick helped me to distil a life full of experiences into my underlying purpose. Since then, my purpose has acted as a guiding light, to help me centre and ground myself to lead effectively when it's needed most. Connecting with my purpose is always a source of inspiration and energy!"-- Loren Shuster, Chief People Officer, LEGO " If you have been asking yourself the timeless question: 'Am I truly living the meaningful life I was meant to lead?', Nick Craig's wisdom and understanding renders the answer crystal clear. For those in search of fulfillment, he guides you on a journey of self-discovery to realize your life's purpose so you may better lead."-- Dana H. Born, USAF Brigadier General (ret.), Senior Executive Fellow at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government "An important contribution to the debate and a powerful reminder that purpose isn't just an abstract concept, but ties directly to deeper relationships, more effective leadership--and ultimately to stronger, more cohesive and more successful organizations."-- Paul Polman, CEO, Unilever "Caution: This is a book about purpose. Do this work and it will change the way you live, love, parent, and lead. However, you will not be able to forget, block, or unlearn your purpose, and trying to walk away from the reason you're here on this earth may cause anxiety, resentment, confusion, self-doubt, and persistent, low-grade feelings of 'what in the hell am I doing?' Once you live your purpose, you can't unlive it." -- Brene Brown, New York Times bestselling author of The Gifts of Imperfection, from the foreword "For leaders to navigate this complex world and make ethical decisions with speed, they need resilience and direction. Craig''s work enables leaders to realize their true purpose and tap into energy and vision they didn't realize they had. The results? Leaders who are equipt to lead themselves, others and their organizations, even in the toughest of environments."-- Selina
