The Book
The Emotionally Strong Leader
An Inside-Out Journey to Transformational Leadership
What we need today are leaders who embrace their feelings, and who understand themselves from the inside out. These are leaders who know why they do what they do, are in touch with their emotional makeup, and use the data from their emotions to help them make informed, rational decisions.
These are leaders who are leading with their superpower: Emotional Intelligence.
We need executives who are both emotional and strong, and The Emotionally Strong Leader will turn the way readers think about leading on its head.
Available September 13, 2022 (Canada) and October 4, 2022 (U.S.)

The Emotionally Strong Leader opens a new door to leadership through an inside-out, step-by-step approach that cuts straight to the heart of the issue: why we do what we do. Stern provides a simple set of strategies that will bring us to the best versions of ourselves in the workplace.
