Description
At the heart of this groundbreaking book is a contemporary parable, which tells the story of Steve, a dispirited leader in search of something more meaningful in his life than an obsession with the bottom line. Through conversations with Maria--a mysterious sage whose wisdom was forged in her own hard-won business career--Steve unexpectedly discovers the true meaning of leadership. Having rediscovered his own soul, he is able to ignite the spirit of his organization. 

This new edition includes a new introduction that addresses such current issues as the changing nature of work, the new face of today’s workers, and the greater need for the infusion of soul in the workplace. The authors have also added a new section in which they relate stories sent in by readers of the First Edition and answer key questions readers have raised.

  • The first edition of Leading With Soul has sold over 80,000 copies and netted almost $ 1 million in sales, and in the last year has sold approximately 1,200 copies per month.
  • With the constant and overwhelming influx of information and technology, this book provides leaders with the motivation and vision to sort through the morass to enable their organization to survive and thrive.
  • The original book sold audio rights and had published reviews in Booklist, Publishers Weekly, Quality Digest, Academy of Management Executive and Chicago Tribune
  • Tremendous cross-merchandising opportunities. The book sells extremely well in the religion, education and psychology markets, as well as to the business audience.
